This work presents the first modern edition and English translation of the 18th century anti-Semitic farce Judischer Sprach-Meister("The Jewish Language Tutor").

Review
"When it is noted at all by scholars of early modern Western European Judaism, this literature is regularly treated dismissively, considered beneath contempt, and accorded very little consideration. But their lack of sympathy or frank hostility toward Jews does not make these works valueless. Even the worst of them provide a glaring view into a time and place where comfortable, unapologetic anti-Semitism flourished." - Prof. Jerrold M. Sadock University of Chicago"
