The Jew in the Medieval Community (Judaic Studies Library)

Written by one of the most distinguished Jewish scholars of England, his research into antisemitism led to his involvement with Jewish emigres from Nazi Germany and the discovery that the Nazis ordered his death in 1935. The work begins with the study of medieval charters and addresses the Jews role in the emergence of a money economy. This is the background for the 19th century paradox of Jewish emancipation and radical antisemitism.
