The
Golden Age of Aragonese Jewry
Community and Society in the Crown of Aragon
1213-1327
Author Information - Contents - Reviews - Publication Details - Prizes
The
medieval Crown of Aragon reached the peak of its power and influence in
the thirteenth century, and Jews took an active part in this expansion.
In this detailed and meticulously researched study Yom Tov Assis deals
with many important aspects of this period, which was truly a 'Golden
Age' in the history of Aragonese and Catalan Jews, both in terms of their
relationship with the Crown and of their own cultural achievements.
Yom Tov Assis is Professor of Medieval Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, former Chair of the Institute of Jewish Studies and the Dinur Centre for the Study of Jewish History, and currently Head of the Ben-Zvi Institute for the Study of Jewish Communities in the East and Hispania Judaica Centre for the Study of Jewish History and Culture in Sepharad. He has published extensively on the history of the Jews in the Middle Ages, and his books include The Jews of Santa Coloma de Queralt (1988), with R. Magdalena, The Jews of Navarre in the Late Middle Ages (1990), Aljamía romance en los documentos hebraiconavarros (siglo XIV) (1992), Jewish Economy in the Medieval Crown of Aragon (1997), and with R. Magdalena and C. Lleal, Navarra hebraica (2003).
