Detail Description
Transcript of the Maharal's debate with the Christian priest, Johann Silvestre, before Emperor Rudolf II of Hapsburg, (1552–1612), Holy Roman emperor and king of Bohemia from 1576. The mentally unstable
emperor fell under the influence of his valet and other servants, to prevent anti-Semitic actions, the Maharal invited the priest to the Emperor for a debate. The Maharal, intelligently defeated the priest in such a manner as not to antagonize the Emperor
and his religion.
Hebrew Description
דתנו הקדושה יציל בוכוח ... ופיות הכמרים סותם המשליכים מאמרי חז"ל ברפש ... והוא מראה ... כי חכמי התלמוד היו כמלאכי רקיע ... בהוצאת אברהם פשעמיאראווער לאדז ...
שם המחבר בשולי השער ברוסית: (אותיות קיריליות)
