Excerpt from The Silver Store: Collected From Mediæval Christian and Jewish Mines
In a former work, 'Post-Mediæval Preachers, ' the author drew attention to a class of ancient writers who are rarely studied, and whose very names are known only to the book-hunter. From these and kindred sources, and also from the Talmud, the majority of the legends and anecdotes in this volume have been drawn.
No apology is offered for introducing them to the public. It is not in the power of many to toil through ponderous tomes, written in languages with which they are not familiar, and it is proper for those who have facility and leisure for this study, to employ what they have acquired for the public good.
The author think it only fair to himself to add, that some of the most piquant stories in this collection are, in their original form, wholly devoid of point.
