Forgotten today, except by medievalists who depend on his numerous editions of Latin texts, Jaffé was a central figure in the heydays of German scholarship. His career illustrates the working conditions of such scholars, their friendships and feuds, and also the limits that hemmed Jews in and the ways they could be overcome. This volume documents Jaffé's life, accomplishments, and struggles, and also offers insight into his soul via more than two hundred of his letters (in German) - about half to his parents in Posen and half to colleagues around Europe, especially Pertz and Mommsen. 606 $aJews$xIntellectual life 606 $aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 676 $a909.04924 700 $aSchwartz$b Daniel R.$0221666 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798853703321 996 $aBetween Jewish Posen and scholarly Berlin$93770077 997 $aUNINA
