9 liberum forum generale pro carnibus vendendis (free general market fairs for the sale of meat). The free markets were special fairs at which only meat was sold. They were named for the sochaczki or benches on which the butchers placed the meat. The first permits for these fairs were granted to the town of Kolomyja in the year 1443 at the request of its inhabitants. The income from these fairs was earned by special leaseholders. However, no Jews took part in these fairs. The income from the fairs of Rohatyn added up to about forty florin a year. Akta grodzkie i ziemskie 5:119, no. 91. back

59 He was the only one of the Frankists who was not ashamed of his Jewish ancestry and was even proud of it. Once, when a professor ridiculed his Jewish roots, he answered that he was proud to have been part of a Jewish family that had in it learned rabbis such as the author of Tevuos Shor, and he emphasized that all his talents stemmed solely from his Jewish origin. He viewed his opponent with scorn as one whose ancestors were most likely murderous lowly knights. (Ignaz Bernstein, "Brief an Adolf Jelinek," printed in Jüdisches Literaturblatt 27 [1882]: 107). Bernstein also notes that in Poland the Frankists were called "Mechesy," which he thought was the abbreviation of Mikat Senor Santo, from the Cult of Senor Santo. Frank was known to his followers as Senor Santo (Ha'adon hakadosh – Holy Lord). back

65 (Translation of frontispiece appearing below on page 74) "Mirkevet Hamishne" A wide-ranging commentary on the Mekhilta of Rabbi Yishmael as presented by Rabbi Hai Gaon, The Holy Light, Holy One of God, Crown of Torah, Our Teacher and Rabbi, Rabbi David Moshe Avraham of blessed memory, Descendent of Troyes, Germany, Chief Rabbi of the Holy Community of Rohatyn. Published in Lemberg by the Esteemed Rabbi Yechezkel Goldshlag (may his light shine) on the Press of the Esteemed Mrs. Pessil Balaban (long may she live), 5655 (1895). back
66 Rabbi Salat writes about the author who signed his name, "The Little" [an accepted form of modesty] David Moshe Avraham, the son of my father and teacher, our teacher and rabbi, Rabbi Tzadok, of blessed memory, a descendant of Troyes, Germany: "This great scholar and G-dly man, our holy teacher and rabbi, of blessed memory, the chief rabbi of Rohatyn, was a man who warred with a mighty arm against the band of evil doers and raised his sword, the sword of the Lord, and beat them to the ground, these evil unholy ones who held to the ways of that evil Sabbatai Zvi, may his name be erased. And at their head stood the evil and unclean Elisha (Schorr), may his name be erased, who then nested in the town of Rohatyn. He was known as Elisha of Rohatyn, as is known to anyone who reads that zealous book by Rabbi Yavetz in Lwow (Rabbi Yaakov Emden, of blessed memory, 29 Marheshvan, 5651 (1891)." Rabbi Salat also had a letter from Rabbi Yehoshua of Belz in which he heaped praise upon the rabbi of Rohatyn. The Belzer rebbe said that he had seen two more works by the Gaon and author, of blessed memory, in manuscript form, and it would be a mitzvah for whoever finds them to bring them to press. However, the manuscripts were not found and were not printed. back
67 The descendants of the author relate in their preface to his book that following his battle with the Frankists, the Besht (Baal Shem Tov), came to see him: "Our forefathers related that our teacher, the holy Besht, may he be remembered for eternal life, came in person and notified him that he was delegated by the heavens to inform him that they were holding to his credit the goodness and the beauty of his zeal in fighting the battle of the L-d of Hosts, similar to the zeal shown by Pinchas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aharon the Cohen, where the Torah says, 'Behold I give him my Pact of Peace.'" Also in the preface, the publisher of the book (a member of the Nagelberg family) states in his introduction, "I heard from our grandparents who had been informed by their parents that the Besht came to visit Rabbi Adam prior to the time that 'the Ark of the L-d,' the author, was taken to the heavens. He came to visit him to serve him the 'service of scholars', and the Besht told the Rabbi, the author, 'My teacher, bless me,' and Rabbi Adam placed his two hands on him and blessed him, and while on his way back, the Besht, of blessed memory, said, "It appears that the rabbi has passed away, for I saw there a heavenly company going out to meet him. And I heard that the great men of his day called him Rabbi Adam." If this meeting of the Besht with Rav Adam does not belong to the realm of legend, we can derive from this that Rabbi Adam passed away between the years 1759 and 1760, since the Besht, as we know, passed away in 1760. back
68 Rabbi Uri Salat states in his introduction, "Rabbi Nathanson has told us that his uncle, the great Avraham Shlomo, of blessed memory, was rabbi of the holy community of Rohatyn after the rabbi, the author, may he be remembered for eternal life, and that he spoke of awesome matters that the rabbi saw through divine inspiration." back

In a notice of 11 November 1854 to its officials in Galicia, the Interior Ministry said, "However, what can least be tolerated are levies that involve a thoroughly illegal burden on commerce, indirectly involve other co- religionists in the expenses of the Jewish religious community, and are partly put to uses that may thwart the effectiveness of existing governmental provisions. Therefore, the administration is requested to examine this matter urgently and to revoke those taxes that have been introduced without authorization and unlawfully, and, in cases where the established sources of income are found to be insufficient, to cover necessary expenses of the local authorities and initiate legal hearings on this basis."  back

Editor's Footnotes
Ed1 [The above citation is apparently a misquote. In 1375 Wladyslaw of Opole was a regent, not yet a king. Also, reference to Rohatyn in M. Hruszewskij (5:428) states that Rohatyn was given at that time to the archbishopry of Halicz, with the right to collect revenues. Ed.] back
Ed2 [Before Lwow developed and became more important, Halicz was the capital of Red Ruthenia. The district of Halicz included the town of Rohatyn and surrounding communities. The name "Galicia" derives from Halicz (Galicz, in Russian). Ed.] back
Ed3 ["German brothers" here may mean "cousins" rather than German nationality. Ed.] back
Ed4 ["Czerwona Rus", a province that included the area that later became Galicia] back
Ed5 [probably Zbrzyz, possibly Zbaraz. Ed.] back
Ed6 [The Schorrs changed their family name to Wolowski and took Christian first names. Ed.] back
Ed7 [See note 66 for an elaboration of this statement. Ed.] back
Ed8 [No source is given for the data about the surrounding towns. Presumably it comes from Bohdan Wasiutynski: Ludnosc zydowska… or Stanislaw Gruinski, Materialy… Ed.] back

Afterwards, they were excommunicated, while Frank was banished. (See Dubnow, History of the Jews in Russia and Poland, 1:213.) Tr.] back

In the seventh, they claimed that "the Talmud considers the use of Christian blood obligatory." After the second debate, no radical action was taken by the Church, but there was a reaction among the people. Tr.] back
