A lovely first edition/first printing in Near Fine condition with a little bumping around the spine edges in a Very Good+ dust-jacket with minor chipping.
The history of the Jews during the Middle Ages is a complex and tumultuous tale. Mark R. Cohen tells the story of the Jews of the Middle Ages through the lens of their experiences at the hands of the Christians. Cohen explores the ways in which Jews responded to Christian persecution, the ways in which Jewish culture developed in the face of religious and social challenges, and the ways in which the Jews interacted with the surrounding non-Jewish populations. In doing so, Cohen demonstrates the central role of the Jews in the development of medieval Europe.; 8vo; 280 pages.
