Volume 5 examines the history of Judaism in the Islamic World from
the rise of Islam in the early sixth century to the expulsion of
Jews from Spain at the end of the fifteenth. This period witnessed
radical transformations both within the Jewish community itself and
in the broader contexts in which the Jews found themselves. The
rise of Islam had a decisive influence on Jews and Judaism as the
conditions of daily life and elite culture shifted throughout the
Islamicate world. Islamic conquest and expansion affected the shape
of the Jewish community as the center of gravity shifted west to
the North African communities, and long-distance trading
opportunities led to the establishment of trading diasporas and
flourishing communities as far east as India. By the end of our
period, many of the communities on the 'other' side of the
Mediterranean had come into their own-while many of the Jewish
communities in the Islamicate world had retreated from their
high-water mark.
