A rough translation of the book info from the back cover: "At the beginning of the 16th century, in a Germanic Holy Roman Empire harassed by continuous conflicts, the wars of religion and the farming revolts, in prey to all the fears, the Jews crystallized a lot of popular hates. It is in this violent context that, in the small imperial city of Rosheim, below Alsace, a learned man, Yosselmann (1178-1551), decided to defend his persecuted Jewish brothers. He succeeds in placing the Jews under the direct protection of Charles Quint. The emperor, listening to their lawyer, defended many against the terrible decisions of the princes and cities. Courageous and charismatic, Yossel was also a political spirit, supporting resolutely Charles Quint against the Protestant princes, denouncing Luther for its manuscripts against the Jews. Fictional personage in an upheaval era where the lights of the Renaissance veiled themselves dangerous shadows, Yossel was also a penetrating reforming, desirous one to improve the place of the Jews in the corporation.
