Beskrivning

By 1290, the Lincoln Jewry was one of the oldest and most important Jewish communities in medieval England. The community is richly documented across a broad range of sources. Consequently, the Lincoln Jewry can be accessed in a level of detail which is often not possible for other communities elsewhere in England or Europe. Although Lincoln and its Jewish community have been the focus of much scholarly attention, this work is often dispersed across a broad range of publications, is not easily accessed beyond the specialist community, and is often directed towards specific themes and topics (notably the case of Little Hugh of Lincoln (1255)). This interdisciplinary volume corrects this situation by bringing together a series of essays, each of which approaches the Lincoln Jewry from a different perspective or set of sources, which allows the community to be reconstructed in remarkable detail.
