From the Handwritten Diary of a Woman from the 17th Century
German-Jewish historian and folklorist Abraham Tendlau published this feuilleton in a supplement to “Der Israelit”, an orthodox newspaper based in Mainz. It includes summaries and long quotations (combining transliteration and translation) of the Yiddish-language “diary” of Glikl bas Judah Leib, whose writing appears here for the first time in print.
