Mell1st ed. 2017.New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2017.1 online resource (XIX, 336 p. 24 illus.)Palgrave Studies in Cultural and Intellectual HistoryIncludes index.1-137-39776-4 This book challenges a common historical narrative, which portrays medieval Jews as moneylenders who filled an essential economic role in Europe. It traces how and why this narrative was constructed as a philosemitic narrative in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in response to the rise of political antisemitism. This book also documents why it is a myth for medieval Europe, and illuminates how changes in Jewish history change our understanding of European history. Each chapter offers a novel interpretation of central topics, such as the usury debate, commercial contracts, and moral literature on money and value to demonstrate how the revision of Jewish history leads to new insights in European history.Palgrave Studies in Cultural and Intellectual HistoryEurope—History—476-1492Labor—HistorySocial historyHistory of Medieval Europehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717070Labor Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/725000Social Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000Europe—History—476-1492.Labor—History.Social history.History of Medieval Europe.Labor History.Social History.940.902Mell Julie Lauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut946335BOOK9910255259103321The Myth of the Medieval Jewish Moneylender2138006UNINA
