Robert Chazan argues that, while Jewish life in medieval Western Christendom was indeed beset with grave difficulties, it was nevertheless an environment rich in opportunities; the Jews of medieval Europe overcame obstacles, grew in number, explored innovative economic options, and fashioned enduring new forms of Jewish living. His research also provides a reconsideration of the legacy of medieval Jewish life, which is often depicted as equally destructive and projected as the underpinning of the twentieth-century catastrophes of antisemitism and the Holocaust. Dr Chazan's research proves that, although Jewish life in the medieval West laid the foundation for much Jewish suffering in the post-medieval world, it also stimulated considerable Jewish ingenuity, which lies at the root of impressive Jewish successes in the modern West"--$$cProvided by publisher 000438993 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438993 650_0 $$aJews$$zEurope, Western$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 000438993 650_0 $$aChristianity and other religions$$xJudaism$$xHistory. 000438993 650_0 $$aJudaism$$xRelations$$xChristianity$$xHistory. 000438993 651_0 $$aEurope, Western$$xEthnic relations. 000438993 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000438993 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aChazan, Robert.$$tReassessing Jewish life in medieval Europe.$$dNew York : Cambridge University Press, 2010$$z9780521763042$$z9780521145435$$w(DLC) 2010026604$$w(OCoLC)643570052 000438993 8520_ $$bacq 000438993 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000438993 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=615773$$zOnline Access 000438993 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438993$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438993 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438993 980__ $$aBIB 000438993 982__ $$aEbook 000438993 983__ $$aOnline
