The relatively small part the grain trade played in the business spectrum of the Jews may appear surprising at first glance. But the requirement for a hefty infrastructure for transportation and storage, largely barred to them, may offer a plausible explanation. We have to accept that the initial recording of transactions was probably incomplete, that documents may have been lost over the intervening three hundred years, and that the data capture from the archives was incomplete. The data set available for analysis thus constitutes only a sample from the universe of business deals transacted by the Jewish merchants of St\u00fchlingen between 1604 and 1743. We have no reason to suspect deliberate bias. But we do not know the threshold value above which transactions had to be recorded. We may have slightly oversampled cattle and horse deals because they seemed to have given rise to legal repercussions more frequently than other types of transactions; the reason for this will be discussed later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Footnote\"><span class=\"footnodeNumber\"><a id=\"ftn32\" class=\"Footnote_20_Symbol\" href=\"#body_ftn32\">32<\/a><\/span>Both from the perspective of Jewish merchants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But rather than focusing on individual transactions or merchants, let us examine the overall commercial pattern of the St\u00fchlingen Jews, based on the abstracted records (fig. 7).
