Altschul was a considerable figure in the history of Jewish literature or, more properly speaking, of Judæo-German literature; for he was one of the first to use the vernacular in a polished diction, though he dealt with a subject that was not new nor peculiar to the secular life – that of ethics. The "''Brantspiegel''" (''Mirror''), called in Hebrew "''Sefer HaMareh''" (), first published at Basel, was intended as a direct appeal to the Jews of the period to live in social and moral purity.

The author alleges two reasons for the title of his book: (1) It was called "''Spiegel''" ( Mirror) because the author w ...
