For roughly five hundred years, Yiddish has attracted far more than sober scholarly interest and popular study. It has persistently drawn an almost obsessive angle-oriented and ax-grinding scrutiny from highly diverse groups of investigators, each of which was driven by its own peculiar ulterior motive.

Most likely as a direct result of the path leading to my involvement in this research, my perspective is somewhat skewed, but no more so than those of others who have trod similar paths before me. But be that as it may, it seems to me that this particular sub-field of literary/linguistic studies reveals more clearly the determinant role of ideology in scholarly research than many if not most other literary/linguistic disciplines: even to the point that the form and content of Old Yiddish as a discipline per se of scholarly endeavor is itself strictly defined, and its limits marked off by ideological determinants.
The reasons for this determinism are many and complex, most arising out of the very core of the sociological problematic of Jewish existence within (but also, necessarily, always without) European culture. Such cultural prejudices, which are not
