Joshua and Judges in Yiddish Verse
Mit Band 5 präsentiert die Reihe Jiddistik: Edition & Forschung erstmals in einer kommentierten wissenschaftlichen Edition vier altjiddische Versepen aus dem sechzehnten Jahrhundert, die nur in historischen Einzelexemplaren erhalten sind. Diese Werke sind typisch für das einst populäre Genre der altjiddischen Bibelepik.
Joshua and Judges in Yiddish Verse
This book offers annotated editions of four distinct sixteenth-century Yiddish epic poems, all preserved in single copies. Two of them retell the narrative found in the book of Joshua, and two relate the events described in the book of Judges. As typical specimens of the once popular literary genre, the Old Yiddish biblical epic, the content of the works is based on Jewish sources, while their style and form were influenced by German epic and chivalric literature.
