| Summary: | Introduction Section 1: From Birth to Death and Throughout the Year: Life Cycle and Rituals Section 2: Living Arrangements: Family, Households, and the Home Section 3: Making a Living: Money, Markets, and Professions Section 4: Law and Order, Disruption and Crisis Section 5: Jews and Christians: Neighbors, Partners, Adversaries Glossary Index This sourcebook is designed to introduce students to the everyday lives of the Jews who lived in the German Empire, northern France and England from the 11th to the mid-14th centuries. The volume consists of translations of primary sources written by or about medieval Jews, each source accompanied by an introduction that provides historical context. Through the sources, students can become familiar with the spaces that Jews frequented, their daily practices and rituals and their thinking. The subject matter ranges from culinary preferences and even details of sexual lives, to garments, objects and communal buildings. The documents testify to how Jews enacted their Sabbath and holidays, celebrated their weddings, births and other lifecycle events, and mourned their dead. Some of the sources focus on the relationships they had with their Christian neighbours, the local authorities and the Church, while others shed light on their economic activities and professions. |
