Items related to The Palgrave Dictionary of Medieval Anglo-Jewish History
Published to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the foundation of the Jewish Historical Society of England, this is no conventional dictionary. For two centuries an extensive Jewish community played an important role in English medieval history. The book opens up a society for which we have sources 'many hundreds of times richer than those for France' (Robert Chazan). Nearly 30 self-governing communities extended across the country, from York to Exeter, Hereford to Canterbury. Vestiges of the medieval Jewry remain in street names; sites of Jewish houses, synagogues and cemeteries; and archaeological sites and artefacts. The 42 illustrations include 14 town plans. 30 biographic entries examine leading members of communities; eight include family trees, in six cases extending over at least five generations. A wide range of entries of general interest provide details on matters as diverse as Synagogues, Ritual child murder, Women, Libraries and Books, Mikva'ot, Usury, Herb gardens, Bezant, Community, Treasure and Laving stone.

Review:
Book Description:
“To call this remarkable book a dictionary attests to the authors’ humility. ... the book is an unparalleled guide to the best and most reliable sources and authorities on the many subjects it covers. ... As such, it is a book that all those interested in Jewish history and in medieval English history will treasure and want to own.” (Robert C. Stacey, Jewish Historical Studies, Vol. 48 (1), 2017)
"The authors have produced an excellent reference tool which complements The Palgrave Dictionary of Anglo-Jewish History and enhances our sources of information on medieval English history. I would highly recommend this work for all university and research libraries with an interest in history and religion." - Geography, Biography and History
This unique reference guide provides a remarkable picture of England's medieval Jewry
