First published in 1930. The wandering Jew is a very real character
in the great drama of history. He has travelled as nomad and
settler, as fugitive and conqueror, as exile and colonist and as
merchant and scholar. Of necessity bilingual and therefore the
master of many languages, the Jew was the ideal commercial
traveller and interpreter. Based on the volume of 24 Hebrew texts
of Jewish travellers by J D Eisenstein, this volume begins with the
ninth century. After the sixteenth century geographical discoveries
had made the whole world familiar to most people. Consequently, the
wandering Jew becomes less the diplomatist or scientist but still
remains a link between the scattered members of the Diaspora. The
volume ends in the middle of the eighteenth century and taken as a
whole provides a survey of Jewish travel during the Middle Ages.
For this translation, some of the texts have been abridged, whilst
retaining many of the original notes.
