Prague 1546 Family Lists

Background

In 1546, a list was made of all of the Jews in Prague, those who had official permission to live in the city, and those who did not yet have permission. This list was published (in German) by Gerson Wolf in his chapter "Zur Geschichte der Juden in Osterreich: Verzeichnin der Prager Juden, ihrer Frauen, Kinder und Diestboten im Jahre 1546," in the book by Ludwig Geiger, "Zeitschrift fur die Geschichte der Juden in Deutschland," volume I, pp. 177-189 (1887); and again (in Czech) by Gottlieb Bondy and Franz Dworsky in the first volume of "Zur Geschichte der Juden in Bohmen, Mähren und Schlesien, 906-1576," volume I, pp. 371-384 (1906).

This database was compiled by Nancy High from those two sources, with reference also to Koppelmann Lieben's Gal-Ed (Landau 1856), describing tombstones from the old Prague cemetery.

There are 463 records in this collection.
