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.
