STUHLWEISSENBURG (Hungarian, Szekesfejervar; Latin, Alba Regia) was the coronation city of the Hungarian kings from the time of St. Stephen to 1527. As early as the fourteenth century it contained the most influential Jewish community of Hungary; and because of the fact that the royal court frequently visited the city, the leaders of the Stuhlweissenburg community often had occasion to be the spokesmen in behalf of Jewish interests throughout the country. Also here is a rubber stamp impression of another former owner: Dr. W. Deligdish, with addresses in NSW, Australia. So this copy has been on at least three continents. Jost was a German historian who worked as a teacher, turning down Jacobson, who offered him a preacher's position. Jost believed modern Judaism needed not a reform of the services, but an improvement of education.His 3 volume work Geschichte des Judenthums und seiner Sekten (Leipsig, 1857-1859) deals with the whole of Jewish history down to 1858. His best work is in the presentation of modern Jewish history, in which he is singularly exact and conscientious, and to which he gives an exhaustive literature of sources; here he exhibits not only a fine discernment of what is historically important, but a spirit of fairness which is the more creditable because he wrote in the midst of the struggle for Reform.
