Community Ledger of Albert-Irsa, Hungary, 1923-1925
Handwritten ledger of the Albert-Irsa community, near Budapest. 1923-1925. 100 leaves. 40x25 cm. Various Hungarian hands.
The ledger includes tens of neat protocols from monthly meetings by the community's elected officials between 1923-1925. Sequential pagination, though missing the years of the First World War and an additional few years. The protocols include the community members, worshippers, salaries, teacher pensions, aid received from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, annual financial report and proposed budget for the upcoming year. The Albert-Irsa community was a "Status Quo" community; it was Torah and mitzvah observant though its members were influenced by the haskala. For example, the ledger is written entirely in Hungarian, without any Hebrew words and the community Rabbi is referred to with the same title used for Christian priests.
Apparently does not note the number of community members, however, this most probably was a small community that was completely destroyed during World War II.
Leather binding – only the exterior binding remains. Solitary leaves at the end were blemished by water, but are still legible. A number of leaves were torn out. Fine condition.
