The opening as it read in 2010
Süßkind, der Jude von Trimberg (Süßkind, the Jew of Trimberg) ( Manesse Codex , 14th cent.) Landkreis Bad Kissingen (the Place of Trimberg ) Süßkind von Trimberg or Susskind of Trimberg (c. 1230 – c. 1300) was a German minnesinger , and, in all probability, the first documented Jewish poet of the German language . He is called a Jew three times in the manuscript (which was completed around 1330) and is painted with a Judenhut (the hat Jews were forced to wear by law in the latter Middle Ages ). Besides that, the name “Süßkind” was then exclusive to Jews, and the orthography and language of his poems correspond to the area he is supposed to have come from. His poems are generally assumed to have been written between 1250 and 1300.1
