Alienated Minority: The Jews of Medieval Latin Europe

This wonderful and important work documents what Jews were doing and where they were between 1100 and 1500. It examines demographic and culture as well as religion and tradition and never forgets to examine the role of Jews in society and pose the question: how important and visible was the Jewish role in society in western world, how did Jews live and what was their culture and place in European history? A very interesting book, scholarly and not exceedingly interesting, but nonetheless important. Seth J. Frantzman
