Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique window into the lives of Jews in England during a turbulent period spanning the 13th century. The author meticulously examines the "Exchequer of the Jews," a specialized court established by the English crown to manage the financial affairs of the Jewish community. Through detailed analysis of court records, the author reveals how the Jews were subjected to a complex system of laws and regulations designed to control their wealth and influence. The book explores the economic and social realities of the English Jewish community, including their roles as moneylenders, merchants, and skilled craftspeople. It also delves into the persistent anti-Semitism that fueled persecution and violence, culminating in the tragic pogroms of 1190 and the devastating talliages, or taxes, imposed by the crown. By highlighting the often-overlooked complexities of Jewish life in medieval England, this book sheds light on the intricate relationship between religious and secular authorities, the dynamics of power in a feudal society, and the enduring legacy of prejudice and discrimination against minority groups. It is a fascinating and insightful work that helps us understand the historical context of Jewish experiences in England and offers valuable insights into the enduring themes of power, wealth, and prejudice.
