About this product

Product Information

This is the story of the Jewish community in Palestine from the Crusader conquest in 1099 until the fall of the Latin Kingdom in 1291. Drawing on the documentation they left behind, Professor Prawer examines the working of the community's internal organization within the framework of the Crusader Kingdom's institutions; their attitude to the Crusader conquerors, and to the neighbouring Muslim rulers; contacts between rulers and members of the community; and, cases of interfaith relationships. The author describes how the massacres and destruction caused by the Crusades, and the subsequent process of reconstruction, affected the Jewish communities, and what the conditions of rural and urban areas were like. This book describes a chapter in Jewish history and also offers a view into the fate of the minorities in a conquered land, Muslim and Oriental Christian as well as Jew.
