Die Judische marktsprache [secret trade language of Jews], edited by Mantelbaum. Nuernberg, 1890.
Pocket-dictionary of German-Jews trade expressions when trading with their Christian-German colleagues. First part (Jewish-German) in alphabetical order according the Jewish-German; second part (German-Jewish) in alphabetical order of German expressions and the third part counts from 1 to 200,000, according to their equivalents in Hebrew.
During the days of the Weimar Republic a large part of Jewish trade continued to take place in the traditional way – based on verbal agreements rather than on written ones. The language used by the Jewish merchants was a combination between a local dialect and Hebrew expressions, which were well understood by non-Jews. This pocket-Dictionary was published anonymously in a few editions in Franken, Bavaria in the end of the 19th century. 120 pages, 11 cm. Good condition. Few stains, handwritten comment.
