Hebrew Chronicle from Prague, C. 1615

In about 1615 an anonymous Jew from Prague composed a short Hebrew chronicle to recount 'the expulsions, miracles, and other occurrences befalling [the Jews] in Prague and the other lands of our long exile.' Abraham David discovered the manuscript [and] added glosses, historical notes, and an introduction.... The chronicle, with its brief annual entries, is not a continuous narrative, but does give a feeling of immediacy, like a newspaper. - Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry ""Skillfully edited and annotated.... Extremely valuable."" - Conservative Judaism ""This slender anonymous work, spanning 1389 to 1611, presents the priorities and concerns of a Jewish community straddling the late medieval and early modern periods."" - Conservative Jewish Quarterly
