'The Jew in Medieval Iberia' is an exploration of the richness and
diversity of Jewish society in Christian Iberia from 1100-1500,
providing a fresh look at the ways in which medieval Jews conceived
of themselves and their communities, as well as their relationship
to the surrounding society. The essays collected in this volume
transcend older stereotypes of Christian persecution and Jewish
piety to reveal a complex and vibrant community of merchants and
scholars, townsmen and women, cultural intermediaries and guardians
of religious tradition. Taken together, they present a portrait
that adds greater nuances to our understanding of both medieval
Jewish and medieval Spanish history.
