Remarks

  1. ↑ He is not identical to the almost identical name Solomon ben Simeon, who survived the pogrom of 1096 and left a report on it, printed in: A [dolf] Neubauer and M [oritz] Stern: Hebrew reports on the persecution of the Jews during the Crusades = Sources on the history of the Jews in Germany 2. Berlin 1892, pp. 2, 84.
  2. ↑ The original of the certificate has not been preserved, but there are a number of later confirmations. A confirmation by Emperor Friedrich I on April 6, 1157 states that the original "tempore Salmanni eorundem Judeorum episcopi" to be confirmed had been issued (Elbogen, p. 457f, note 45).
  3. ↑ The pogrom began in Worms on May 18, 1096 and lasted for several days.
