Resumen de Late medieval jewish identities: Iberia and beyond

Carmen Caballero Navas (coord.), Esperanza Alfonso Alos (coord.)

• Medieval Iberia offers one of the few examples of coexistence over an extended period of time between Jews. Muslims and Christians in pre-modern Europe. Taking the Jewish community as a focal point, this book thoroughly explores the various "borders"-geographical divides, religious affiliations, gender boundaries, genre divisions-that ruled the lives and intellectual production of late medieval Jews. By shedding new light on the ways in which these boundaries generated the Jewish communities multiple, overlapping, and conflicting identities, this book breaks new ground in the study of cultural exchange in the Middle Ages.
