This is no conventional dictionary. For two centuries an extensive
Jewish community played an important role in English 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. 42 illustrations include 14 town
plans. Vestiges of the medieval Jewry remain in street names; sites
of Jewish houses, synagogues and cemeteries; and archaeological
sites and artefacts. 30 biographic entries examine leading members
of communities; 8 family trees show that in six cases they extended
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. 139
