Abstract | The past decade has seen a growth in interest in medieval Anglo-Jewish studies. That has seen a number of mainstream medievalists touch on the topic as part of isolated publications, as well as a growing number of scholars specialising in the area. That new generation of scholarship has been less reliant on printed calendars of documents and has, instead, been more adventurous in their use of sources. This panel will seek to explore the literary and rabbinical sources relating to the Jews of medieval England and how they can advance our understanding of the medieval Anglo-Jewish community. |
