This book challenges a common historical narrative, which portrays
medieval Jews as moneylenders who filled an essential economic role
in Europe. It traces how and why this narrative was constructed as
a philosemitic narrative in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
in response to the rise of political antisemitism. This book also
documents why it is a myth for medieval Europe, and illuminates how
changes in Jewish history change our understanding of European
history. Each chapter offers a novel interpretation of central
topics, such as the usury debate, commercial contracts, and moral
literature on money and value to demonstrate how the revision of
Jewish history leads to new insights in European history.
