Volume 6 examines the history of Judaism during the second half of
the Middle Ages. Through the first half of the Middle Ages, the
Jewish communities of western Christendom lagged well behind those
of eastern Christendom and the even more impressive Jewries of the
Islamic world. As Western Christendom began its remarkable surge
forward in the eleventh century, this progress had an impact on the
Jewish minority as well. The older Jewries of southern Europe grew
and became more productive in every sense. Even more strikingly, a
new set of Jewries were created across northern Europe, when this
undeveloped area was strengthened demographically, economically,
militarily, and culturally. From the smallest and weakest of the
world's Jewish centers in the year 1000, the Jewish communities of
western Christendom emerged - despite considerable obstacles - as
the world's dominant Jewish center by the end of the Middle Ages.
This demographic, economic, cultural, and spiritual dominance was
maintained down into modernity.
