A Note on an Old Jewish Bibliotaphos
In the editio princeps of the Mayse-bukh (Basel 1602) are circa 250 stories.

In this short paper, I try to show the differences between the Yiddish and the Hebrew source, suggesting that these differences can hint at historical and social transformations of the reading public of Yiddish texts in the Early Modern era. |
