Came across this, www.hebrewhistory.info click factpapers, fasinating reading, five pages on Jewish glass

Leni:
Fascinating reading indeed!  Thank you very much for that  :clap:

Sue C:
What do you make of chapter 3? whoever wrote it, are they telling us that from the begining all glass makers were Jewish?

Which bit in particular?  I took most of the examples in it as a comparison of the peripatetic nature of glass makers and the 'wandering Jews'.

Hi Leni, VITREUM PLUMBUM, JUDAEUM SLICET,
"Not only lead glass but all glass were then attested by two roman emperors as being made by the jews" dont get me wrong i;m not disputing it, i dont have the education or knowledge to do that, but i have never heard this stated before, and i wondered if anyone else had, whenever i think of glass i think of the Italian's, not the Jew's, it's all very new to me and very interesting.
p.s should this be in the cafe?
