Depicting the twelve disciples, the panels are attributed to Tilman Riemenschneider’s workshop or his close circle. They are reputed to come from a church in Abenberg and were housed at the Bavarian National Museum until 1951. The figures of disciples on the long panel are divided into two groups of three. They include Matthias with an axe, Paul with two swords, Peter with the keys, John with a chalice, Thomas with an axe, and James, the son of Alphaeus, with a fuller’s club. The first short panel includes Simon with the saw, Jude with the club, and Andrew with the saltire. The second short panel includes Bartholomew with a knife, Philip with a cross, and St James with the scallop shell on his hat. The figures wear contemporary 16th century dress. The reliefs are set in against a flat background crowned by ornate tracery above. The back of the longer panel supporting the figures appears to have been cut down.

Information on Studying in Nuremberg
Master “International Business Studies” Information on studying at the FAU School of Business and Economics in Nuremberg Welcome! Dear Students, The decision to study abroad is a big step to take. It means a new language, a new culture, or- ganizing somewhere to live, and quite a few other everyday things. The teaching staff in the Masters program have all more or less experienced this, and know the sort of questions that students have, particularly at the outset of their Masters course. We have put together this bro- chure to help you and to make living and studying in Nuremberg easier for you. The School of Business and Economics (formerly WiSo) is one of the biggest and most distin- guished of its kind. Thirty-four chairs cater to over 5,000 students providing a wide range of ex- cellent degree programs of international academic renown. Testimony to this are not only former and current faculty members such as the former Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, the former Minister for Economic Affairs, Helmut Haussmann and the former Chairman of the Executive Board of Siemens, Heinrich von Pierer, but also our graduates who are in leading positions at Adidas, BMW, Leoni or Voith. Studying at the “elite school” WiSo is therefore the best prerequisite for a successful career in a global company according to a recent edition of the magazine Wirtschaftswoche. Nuremberg is not just a great choice of university. The city offers a great work-life balance. A historic place, Nuremberg, city of human rights, is home to people from many corners of the world.

From Noble Dress to Jewish Attire: Jewish Appearances in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire
Cornelia Aust From Noble Dress to Jewish Attire: Jewish Appearances in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Holy Roman Empire Abstract: This article examines the different styles of attire that had emerged by the eighteenth century among Jews in Poland and German-speaking lands. It ar- gues that Jews in both regions developed their attire from older styles of dress that had fallen out of fashion among German burghers and Polish noblemen, re- spectively. Nevertheless, the distinguishability of Jews and Christians and distinc- tions among Jews according to social status, gender, and geographic origin were never clear-cut issues. Picturing a Hasidic Jew in Jerusalem or New York today, with a long black coat, a silk or satin caftan on Sabbath, and a black (fur) hat, many believe that this or similar attire has been the typical dress of (East European) Jews throughout time.1 However, dress and appearance have always undergone continual change and are a rather fluid marker of identity and belonging. Though Jewish law traditionally prescribes that Jews be distinguishable from their non-Jewish neighbors, and Christian and Jewish authorities have since the thirteenth century explicitly stipulated distinctive dress, such normative prescriptions do not allow for the conclusion that Jewish men and women have always been recognizable by their dress. Likewise, the fact that Jews were sometimes forced to wear distinctive signs does not mean that they were other- wise invisible as Jews or could pass as Christians when not wearing a discrimi- natory sign.2 Nevertheless, by the end of the eighteenth century there seems to have been a clear sense of a “Jewish attire”.
