Notes: Bella Perlhefter's (d. 14 Elul, ע"ת = Sept. 9, 1709) literary effects of Johann Christoph Wagenseil, a Hebraist scholar at the University of Altdorf.[1] The Jewish letters appear among other collections of ephemeral texts (such as Hebrew tombstone inscriptions) apparently to serve pedagogical and scholarly purposes.[2] Wagenseil had previously devoted one immense tome to contemporary Jews.
