| Zusammenfassung: | The Colmar treasure display in Cluny Museum in Paris was missing with one of its most important items, a key, made of silver. This key was rediscovered in June 2014. This paper describes its rediscover and the reason of its importance. Based on medieval Jewish sources, it appears to be a unique key-jewel, a key that was exclusively designed and worn by Jewish women on Shabbat (Saturday). By that women changed the Jewish rule, to date. The Colmar key is the only tangible sample of a key converted into Shabbat jewelry piece; the story of the key also reveals the special relations between Jewish women and Jewish sages and between Jewish women and Christian women in medieval northern France and Germany. |
