In 1016, however, there was already a bloody persecution of the Jews in Mayence. Gershom ben Judah, a native of Erance, was rabbi in Mayence. He occupied so promi- nent a position that he was called "Meor Hagolah" (light of the exile). He wrote commentaries on vari- ous parts of the Talmud, responsa, other Tahnudic works, and liturgical poetry. He died in 1028. To him are ascribed various rules, among them a prohibi- tion of polygamy and an injunction to respect the secrecy of letters. At the s...ame time there lived in Mayence Simeon bar Isaac, the liturgical poet, whose hymns are found in the ritual of the German Jews for the second day of Rosh Hashanah.

HISTORY OF THE JEWS 53 In 1090 Emperor Henry IV granted charters to the Jews of Worms and Speyer. These are the oldest laws regulating the status of the Jews in Germany, granting to them freedom of trade and travel, pro- claiming the inviolability of their cemeteries, and prohibiting the kidnapping and baptism of their chil- dren. Six years later the first crusade broke out, and the mobs composing the army of the crusaders on the Rhine invaded the Jewish settlements, chiefly Cologne, Mayence, Speyer and Worms, in that part of the coun- try.
