Konversionen vom Judentum zum lutherischen Christentum im frühneuzeitlichen Herzogtum Sachsen-Gotha-Altenburg, Anke Költsch.
Using extensive new, mostly manuscript sources, this study investigates the themes of conversion and social integration of Jews converting to Lutheranism in the 17th and 18th centuries in the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. Alongside the educated converts whose lives have been documented previously, the author also analyzes men and women from other social classes and traces a number of their life histories following baptism.
