Massacre of יהודים YEHUDIM during the Rintfleisch persecutions.

The complete surviving applicable register is presented from Siegmund Salfeld’s 1898 edition of the Nürnberger Memorbuch. Each עברית IVRIT passage is followed by a TJD English translation checked against the facsimile and Salfeld’s German rendering. This is a normalized reading transcription: printed wrapping, pointing and note numbers are omitted; abbreviation punctuation is normalized. Names, order, unnamed relatives and textual gaps are retained. Brackets in the original reproduce editorial restorations; English explanatory brackets are TJD’s. Medieval vernacular names sometimes admit more than one reading. R. preserves an honorific without assuming rabbinic ordination; Mistress renders the respectful title for women.

Main register

ᴏʀɪɢɪɴᴀʟ:

הרוגי קיצינגן י״ט בתמוז יום ב׳ נח לפרט:

ר׳ שמואל בר אברהם הכהן וזוגתו מרת מינא בת ר׳ יוסף וארבעה בניהם. ר׳ ברוך בר משה. ר׳ יוסף בר יצחק הכהן וזוגתו מרת טובא בת ר׳ יצחק וארבעה בניהם. מרת ציפורה בת ר׳ יצחק. מרת גולדא בת ר׳ פסח:³

ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴ:

Those killed at Kitzingen, 19 Tammuz, Monday, [50]58 in the abbreviated reckoning:

R. Samuel son of Abraham the priest, his wife Mistress Minna, daughter of R. Joseph, and their four children. R. Baruch son of Moses. R. Joseph son of Isaac the priest, his wife Mistress Tuba, daughter of R. Isaac, and their four children. Mistress Zipporah, daughter of R. Isaac. Mistress Golda, daughter of R. Pessah.⁴

Unassigned marginal names

These names appear in a marginal addition beside Markt-Bibart. Salfeld leaves their affiliation among Markt-Bibart, Kitzingen and Nuremberg unresolved. They are reproduced as related, unassigned evidence and are excluded from the Kitzingen total.⁵

ᴏʀɪɢɪɴᴀʟ:

ר׳ ברוך הלוי הסופר ואשתו וילדיו. ר׳ שמואל בן הרב ר׳ מנחם. ר׳ ...⁶

ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴ:

R. Baruch the Levite, the scribe, his wife and his children. R. Samuel son of the rabbi R. Menahem. R. [name missing].⁷

The main entry accounts for fifteen victims when its unnamed children are included, matching the total given by the Haus der Bayerischen Geschichte. The two groups of four children are part of the evidence even though the register preserves no individual names for them.⁸ A neighboring marginal entry preserves additional people, but its community affiliation is unresolved. It is shown separately so that uncertainty does not erase the names or inflate Kitzingen’s count.

Salfeld explicitly limits the attribution of the marginal names:

ᴏʀɪɢɪɴᴀʟ:

Es ist nicht mit Sicherheit festzustellen, ob diese Namen hier, bei Kitzingen oder bei Nürnberg einzureihen sind.⁹

ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴ:

It cannot be established with certainty whether these names belong here [at Markt-Bibart], at Kitzingen, or at Nuremberg.¹⁰

Baruch the scribe and Samuel son of Menahem must remain unassigned among those three registers. A Samuel son of a rabbi Menahem also appears at Würzburg, but Salfeld warns that the identification is uncertain. Neither shared names nor proximity on a page establishes one person’s identity.¹¹

The register explicitly supplies י״ט בתמוז ה׳נ״ח 19th 𝑜𝑓 Tamuz, AM 5058. Salfeld prints Monday, 30 June 1298. A fixed-calendar calculation matches that civil date when read as Julian; the calculation tests the pairing rather than supplying independent historical testimony. The article’s placement rests on the dated memorial heading. The unassigned marginal names carry no independent date and are not used to enlarge this dated event.¹²

• What changes when the two groups of four unnamed children are included in Kitzingen’s memorial count?
• Why can the marginal names be preserved without assigning them to Kitzingen or equating their Samuel with a Würzburg victim?
