In fact, numerous communities existed in other parts of the country, of which records survive from some, occasionally extending back to the late eighteenth century. This study examines the records of four provincial Ashkenazi communities in eighteenth-century Netherlands: The Hague, Middelburg, Leeuwarden, and Oisterwijk. These internal sources, compiled by the officials of the Jewish communities concerned, known as pinkassei kahal, have often been neglected by historians. The present study reveals how pinkassim can shed light on the administrative structures and history of Jewish communities, in addition to examining the phenomenon in general, and showing them to be the central and most authoritative documents of Jewish communities in early modern Europe.Studies in Jewish history and culture ;v. 19.AshkenazimNetherlandsHagueHistory18th centurySourcesAshkenazimNetherlandsLeeuwardenHistory18th centurySourcesAshkenazimNetherlandsMiddelburgHistory18th centurySourcesAshkenazimNetherlandsOisterwijkHistory18th centurySourcesAshkenazimNetherlandsPolitics and government18th centurySourcesHague (Netherlands)Ethnic relationsHistorySourcesLeeuwarden (Netherlands)Ethnic relationsHistorySourcesMiddelburg (Netherlands)Ethnic relationsHistorySourcesOisterwijk (Netherlands)Ethnic relationsHistorySourcesAshkenazimHistoryAshkenazimHistoryAshkenazimHistoryAshkenazimHistoryAshkenazimPolitics and government949.2/004924Litt Stefan1969-863384MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778692803321Pinkas, kahal, and the mediene3844339UNINA
