In 1452 due to financial fraud she was arrested in Brno. Her life was saved by some members of the local Jewish community, who renounced their financial claims against their Christian neighbours in the exchange of Shifra's life. However, one member of the community consented to the agreement only on condition that the other members would pay his losses. The case was extensively discussed in the correspondence of contemporary rabbis, among them Israel Bruna and Israel Isserlein. Their letters about the Shifra-affair reveal some important characteristics of the rabbinic authority in the late medieval Ashkenaz.}, language = {en} } @misc{ArnoldCostachieDallapiazzaetal.2010, author = {Arnold, Rafael and Costachie, Silviu and Dallapiazza, Michael and Denz, Rebekka and Feinberg, Anat and Gr{\"o}zinger, Elvira and Gr{\"o}zinger, Karl E. and Hiscott, William and Jegeb{\"a}ck, Per and Jurewicz, Grażyna and J{\"u}tte, Daniel and J{\"u}tte, Robert and Keidosiute, Elena and Knufinke, Ulrich and Lang, Stefan and Lisek, Joanna and Popescu, Diana I. and Radosav, Maria and R{\"u}dlin, Ingedore and Rutkowski, Anna and Salner, Peter and Szulc, Michał and Talabardon, Susanne and Visi, Tam{\´a}s and Wallach, Kerry}, title = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e.V. = Geographical Turn}, number = {16}, editor = {Denz, Rebekka and Jurewicz, Grażyna}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-055-7}, issn = {1614-6492}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-42065}, year = {2010}, abstract = {PaRDeS.
