Reviews

“This is a wonderful book that makes accessible a valuable source and puts it in context for the modern reader.”

— JOFA Journal


“The publishers are to be commended for making the original Yiddish text available to contemporary readers.  The annotated English translation is masterful and makes this text available to a wider audience than the handful of early Yiddish specialists.  This work will be of value to scholars and students in early modern European history, women’s studies, and Judaic studies.  It deserves a place in every academic library and can be recommended without reservation for anyone interested in early modern Jewish history and society.”
