Biography of Joseph Isaac Poppers, MS Wallach 14 (1772), in the context of early modern Jewish egodocuments
Roos, Antonín ; Sládek, Pavel (advisor) ; Sixtová, Olga (referee)
The M.A. thesis deals with the analysis of MS Jerusalem, Wallach 14 from 1772, which contains the Divrei ha-yamim shel Yosef Yitshak Poppers mi-Prag. The work consists of an edition containing an annotated transcription of the manuscript and a study that places the text in a literary and historical context. In the study, I also focus on the characters in the narrative, especially the main protagonist, the Prague merchant Yosef Yitshak Poppers. I also deal with details that are only implied in the narrative, namely, the level of medical knowledge in European countries at the time under investigation and the concept of dying in Judaism in the time before the Enlightenment.
