| Description | The article Passio Pragensium Iudaeorum secundum Iohannem rusticum quadratum: A New Transmission Witness from St. Paul in Lavanttal (Daniel Luger and Christof Paulus, published in Deutsches Archiv für Erforschung des Mittelalters, 2025) presents a newly identified manuscript source preserved in the monastery of St. Paul im Lavanttal. The text belongs to the Passio Pragensium Iudaeorum, a parodistic Latin narrative composed shortly after the pogrom against the Jews of Prague at Easter 1389. Written in the style of a gospel, the work recounts the events based on contemporary testimonies. The discovery of this new transmission witness expands the known manuscript tradition and allows for comparison of textual variants, linguistic features, and thematic differences. It also sheds light on the broader context of how this work circulated and was received in Central Europe. |
