"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"This well-documented account of the communities of Plymouth, Exeter, Falmouth and Penzance during the medieval and modern eras offers an affectionate account of provincial Jewish life in an overwhelmingly gentile environment, which led inexorably to a process of assimilation and eventual decline... The author, who was for many years the minister of Plymouth Hebrew Congregation ... augments what is an essentially scholarly work with a wealth of anecdotes." Jewish Chronicle
This is a study of the Jews and Jewish communities of devon and Cornwal. It traces Jewish contacts in Biblical and Roman times; the well-documented Medieval Jewry of Exeter; and the vestiges of Jewish life in the wake of expulsion - in particular with regard to mining. The book then goes on to provide a detailed study of the demography, economic activity and cultural, social and religious life of South-West Jewry between 1730-1990.
