Research Notes

1. From Gluckl Hameln, p. 126:

"On the day before the festival of the New Year we prepared ourselves in a timely manner and went to Emden and were the guests of Abraham of Stadthagen. The latter and my husband are closely related. The father of Abraham Emden was the Rabbi Mosche Kramer von Stadthagen and was the cousin of my husband ... The Rabbi Abraham was a splendid man. Not only did he treat us wonderfully and gave us all the honour in the world but has as well another 6 invited guests sitting at his table, who had to eat and drink everything just as we did, and I must say, I had never seen anything like it elsewhere."
