In A Stake in the Ground, Michael Schraer explores the economic
functions of real estate amongst the Jews of the medieval crown of
Aragon. He challenges the view of medieval Jews as primarily
money-lenders and merchants, finding compelling evidence for
extensive property trading and investment. Jews are found as
landlords to Christian tenants, transferring land in dowries, wills
and gifts. Property holdings were often extremely valuable. For
some, property was a major part of their asset portfolios. Whilst
many property transactions were linked to the credit boom, land
also acted as a liquid and tradeable investment asset in its own
right. This is a key contribution to the economic history of
medieval Iberia and of medieval Jews. See inside the book.
