It is a little known fact that as early as the thirteenth century,
Europe's political and religious powers tried to physically mark
and distinguish the Jews from the rest of society. During the
Renaissance, Italian Jews first had to wear a yellow round badge on
their chest, and then later, a yellow beret. The discriminatory
marks were a widespread phenomenon with serious consequences for
Jewish communities and their relations with Christians. Beginning
with a sartorial study - how the Jews were marked on their clothing
and what these marks meant - the book offers an in-depth analysis
of anti-Jewish discrimination across three Italian city-states:
Milan, Genoa, and Piedmont. Moving beyond Italy, it also examines
the place of Jews and Jewry law in the increasingly interconnected
world of Early Modern European politics.
