Re: Jewish music crafts and guilds ["staroste"]

Paul,
In a message dated 4/26/0 6:23:44 PM, you wrote:

<<the _staroste_ (leader) of the musicians' guild. They 
had their own synagogue. This is from Poslusnicu's _Istoria musicei 
la Romania_ (1929).  (Incidentally, do you think "leader" is an 
adequate translation for this word, which appears in various Slavic 
languages? "Provost" is a possibility.)>>

How about "Elder"?  It's closer to the Slavic root meaning, I think.
