This collection of essays examines an important and under-studied
topic in early modern Jewish social history"--the family life of
Sephardi Jewish families in the Ottoman Empire as well as in
communities in Western Europe. At the height of its power in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Ottoman Empire spanned
three continents, controlling much of southeastern Europe, western
Asia, and North Africa. Thousands of Jewish families that had been
expelled from Spain and Portugal at the end of the fifteenth
century created communities in these far-flung locations. Later
emigrants from Iberia, who converted to Christianity at the time of
the expulsion or before, created communities in Western European
cities such as Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Livorno. Sephardi
communities were very different from those of Ashkenazi Jews in the
same period. The authors of these essays use the lens of domestic
life to illuminate the diversity of the post-Inquisition Sephardi
Jewish experience, enabling readers to enter into little-known and
little-studied Jewish historical episodes.
Contributors include: Tirtsah Levie Bernfeld, Hannah Davidson,
Cristina Galasso, David Graizbord, Ruth Lamdan, and Julia Lieberman
