Abstract

This chapter studies Professor Jacob Goldberg's book, Haḥevrah hayehudit bemamlekhet polin-lita (Jewish Society in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). This latest book by Goldberg, a scholar who focuses on the history of Jews in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the early modern period, consists of fourteen articles. The articles were published in various periodicals and collective works, mostly in Polish, with some in English and German. The texts are also translated into Hebrew. The book contains an index of persons and an index of places; place names are given in both Hebrew and Polish. The great value of this book is that it collects in one volume texts that are widely dispersed and (for linguistic reasons) inaccessible and makes them available to Israeli scholars and students interested in the history of Jews in old Poland. The texts illustrate many important aspects of Jewish life in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
