On January 22, Judaica Special Collections Cataloging Librarian Louis Meiselman brought out CAJS Rar Ms 778, the memorbuch for the community of Austerlitz (Czech Republic), dating from early 17th century (with a portion of the excommunication texts likely dating to the late 16th century), and the Memorbuch portion continually written in until at least 1811.
