Abstract:
Analyzes the 15th-century Hebrew chronicle written by Salman of Sankt Goar, disciple of Rabbi Jacob ben Moses Moelln (the Maharil). Discusses events in 1421, when the second crusade against the Hussites was organized in Germany. A Belgian volunteer army from the Brabant rampaged through the Rhineland in August, attacking Jews and Christians. The Jews believed that the Hussite rebellion was the harbinger of messianic times, but feared reprisals should the German army win the battle. The Maharil issued letters to the surrounding Jewish communities calling for three days of fasting in September. These events recalled, in the Jewish collective memory, the events of 1096. On 2 October the German army was defeated at Saaz. Salman attributes this deliverance to the fast. Following the collapse of the Hussite rebellion in the 1430s, Jewish interest in the movement declined. The chronicle, unreliable as a historical document, was forgotten. But the fact that Jews were attacked in 1421 is verified by a letter from the Nuremberg town council to the head of the crusading army warning of excessive rampaging on the part of the Belgian troops. Pp. 306-319 compare variant manuscript versions of the chronicle.
