Dissertation by Meir Isser Pines completed at the University of Paris in 1911 on the topic of Judeo-German literature. Includes bibliographical references (pages 509-572).
"Judeo-German," historically, refers to the ethnolectal varieties of German spoken by Jews, particularly in rural areas, and is considered a precursor to the Yiddish language.
Meir Isser Pines was a “leader of the Territorialist movement in his youth, Yiddish writer, and journalist. Born in Mogilev, Russia, Pines grew up in Rozinay, Grodno district. He received his doctorate for his dissertation, Histoire de la litterature judeo-allemande (Paris, 1911), which was translated into Yiddish (Warsaw, 1911), Russian, and German. Israel Zinberg and Ber Borochov stamped the work as dilettantish, a judgment held also by later scholars. Pines is presumed to have died in a Russian deportation camp sometime after 1942.” (Jewish Virtual Library).
