The opening as it read in 2025

Aaron Blümlein ( Hebrew : אהרן בלומלין ; died 13 March 1421), known as Aaron of Neustadt , was an Austrian Talmudist who studied with Shallom of Neustadt [ he ] and Jaekel of Vienna formed a triumvirate of Talmudic scholars in Austria at the end of the fourteenth and beginning of the fifteenth century. He was the uncle and chief instructor of Israel Isserlein , who frequently alludes in his works to the decisions and opinions of his teacher. Jacob Mölln (Maharil) also refers to him and his colleagues. Aaron suffered the death of a martyr, at Vienna, on 13 March 1421. He wrote a digest, Hilkot Niddah , which is mentioned by Isserlein. A collection of sermons by Aaron is now known only through three citations in the works of Jacob Mölln and of Isserlein.
