About the Project
The long-term aim of the project "Corpus der Quellen zur Geschichte der Juden im spätmittelalterlichen Reich" ("Corpus of sources concerning the history of the Jews in the Roman-German Empire during the Middle Ages") is to record for the first time all relevant sources on the history of the Jews in the Roman-German Empire between 1273 and 1519, focusing on those sources which can be categorized chronologically and spatially.
