This book challenges a common historical narrative, which portrays
medieval Jews as moneylenders who filled an essential economic role
in Europe. Where Volume I traced the development of the narrative
in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and refuted it with an
in-depth study of English Jewry, Volume II explores the
significance of dissolving the Jewish narrative for European
history. It extends the study from England to northern France, the
Mediterranean, and central Europe and deploys the methodologies of
legal, cultural, and religious history alongside economic history.
Each chapter offers a novel interpretation of key topics, such as
the Christian usury campaign, the commercial revolution, and gift
economy / profit economy, to demonstrate how the revision of Jewish
history leads to new insights in European history.
