The study of early modern history has exploded in the last several
decades. Many new historical sources have been identified and
examined and a host of exciting studies, employing a wide range of
innovative methodologies, have been produced. Scholars of Jewish
history have begun to ask to what extent the early modern period
had a Jewish dimension; they have also begun to reconsider the
nature of traditional periodization of Jewish history. Jews in the
Early Modern World attempts to synthesize some of this exciting new
research and present it in a broader comparative and global
perspective. Jews in the Early Modern World argues that the years
between 1400 and 1700 represented a discrete, cohesive and
important period in Jewish history. Given the significant
demographic shifts that began just before and ended just after this
period, remarkable changes occurred in the history and experiences
of Jews around the world. This volume begins with a broad context
of Jewish experiences under medieval Christianity and Islam. It
then turns to the early modern period, first providing an overview
of Jewish demography and settlement. Next, the nature and structure
of Jewish community and social structures in the early modern
period are explored. In the final two chapters, this book presents
a broad overview of Jewish religious and cultural life and Jewish
relations with non-Jews throughout the early modern period. Jews in
the Early Modern World will serve as a useful resource for a wide
range of courses in medieval and early modern history, Jewish
history and world history. It includes a bibliography of
English-language works cited, a wealth of suggestions for further
reading, a glossary of terms, a timeline of key events, and
numerous maps and images.
