| abstract in English: | Medical customs of the Yiddish-speaking Jewish communities in Eastern Europe consisted of various elements, only some of which, mainly those associated with the Rabbinic tradition, could be described as idiosyncratic. Ashkenazi folk medicine was a complex heterogeneous system, to a large extent dependent on its social, geographic and historical milieu. It interacted with other systems: the official medicine and local folklore(s). In the following article several examples of German influences on the Jewish folk medicine will be indicated, as they appear in the sources written or published in the Russian Empire and Galicia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its intention is not only to present the visible impact of such works as Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland’s Makrobiotik oder die Kunst, das menschliche Leben zu verlängern or Heinrich Paulizky’s Anleitungen für Landleute zu einer vernünftigen Gesundheitspflege, and not only to enumerate excerpts from the early modern German-Yiddish medical literature, but also to shed some new light on the presence of such influences in the Yiddish folklore. |
