A Hebrew Chronicle from Prague, C. 1615

"In about 1615 an anonymous Jew from Prague composed a short Hebrew chronicle to recount 'the expulsions, miracles, and other occurrences befalling (the Jews) in Prague and the other lands of our long exile.' Abraham David discovered the manuscript (and) added glosses, historical notes, and an introduction. . . . The chronicle, with its brief annual entries, is not a continuous narrative, but does give a feeling of immediacy, like a newspaper."
