The eighteenth-century language text of Jüdischer Sprach-meister : a West-Yiddish dialogue together with an English translation and introduction

Finkin, Jordan D., 1976- (Added Author).

Summary: Though little studied, this text is important not only for the fields of Yiddish literature and linguistics, where it offers a lengthy continuous text in a language lacking a particularly robust corpus, but also for the history of German-Jewish relations, highlighted by the irony of an anti-Semitic work preserving a Yiddish linguistic resource. The present volume includes a reproduction of the original text in a modern orthography and an English translation, together with an introduction, notes, and a glossary of the many Hebrew words in the text.
