During that time many Jewish communities sprang up in the regions of central and northern Italy. Their appearance marked a turning-point in the history of Jews in the Italian peninsula as the Jewish presence had previously been focused on Rome and the south. This acclaimed study, originally published in Italian, captures all the intricacies of everyday life in the medieval Jewish communities of Umbria. The text characterizes in detail the defining features of Jewish life in the region at that time and shows clearly how the common stereotype of a single, undifferentiated Jewish community does not reflect the reality.Liverpool scholarship online.JewsItalyUmbriaSocial conditionsJewsItalyUmbriaSocial life and customsUmbria (Italy)Ethnic relationsUmbria (Italy)HistoryTo 1500JewsSocial conditions.JewsSocial life and customs.305.89240450902Toaff Ariel1942-164429Landry JudithStDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910520010403321Love, work and death2584531UNINA
