The Lutheran Reformation in Sixteenth-Century Jewish Historiography

By no means does sixteenth-century Jewish historiography present a homogeneous view of Luther or the early stages of the Lutheran Reformation. Before going into further detail, I would like to say a few words about the corpus of sources I intend to examine. These can be roughly divided into sources contemporary with the emergence of Luther and those dating to the latter part of the century; also, into sources of Germanic vs. non-Germanic origin, a distinction I hope to clarify in my concluding remarks. Although I build on the work of my worthy predecessors, my mentor the late Professor Hayyim Hillel Ben-Sasson1 and the late Chava Frankel-Goldschmidt2, 1 intend to pursue new directions and to use additional Hebrew material that was not available to these scholars.
