Jüdisches Recht als staatliches Recht
The evolving political status of the Jews of Moravia offers a fascinating case that helps see the changing role of law in the machinery of political change in the Habsburg Monarchy in the 17 th and 18 th centuries. This paper traces the peculiar history of Moraviaʼs Jewish communities from local communities, to supracommunal organization (vaʼad ha-medina), to the intent of absorption into the state. After tracing the legal foundations of communit…
Maskilische Schriften der Graßischen Druckerei in Breslau
The article focuses on the history of the Graß or Graß and Barth publishing house in Breslau from the eighteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century. In particular, it tackles the role of women in the management and the involvement of the printing house in the dissemination of Haskalah literature, two chapters that are usually underrepresented in book history. In addition, the commitment of a Christian printer to Hebrew printing and his invol…

Already during the Vormärz period, these Jewis…
Teaching Haskalah – Haskalah and teaching

The German-Jewish school system that was established in the period of Joseph II, on the other hand, deliberately excluded religious subjects from the curriculum. This paper argues that the economic independence which Jewish teachers enjoyed in the Josephine school system turned them into an alternative Jewish elite that considerably c…
