This study examines the only extant Arthurian romance in German Jewish (»Widuwilt« / »Artushof«) and its links with Wirnt von Gravenberc's »Wigalois«. Central concerns are German-Jewish and Jewish-German literary transfer and aspects of the history of reception and impact of »Widuwilt« and »Artushof«. The protagonist was designed to figure as a 'Jewish Arthurian knight', which indicates that as early as the 14th/15th century there was a Jewish upper class using literature as a means of social participation and representation.
