| Abstract | The professional activities of men and women in minority groups in the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages is a recent field of research. Within the area of Jewish Studies, it is also a topic occupied in the study of professional networks between Jews and other religious individuals, communities, and institutions. Likewise, it also reveals information about professional training and progression. This session focus on a comparative perspective of the work life of Jews and Conversos from the Crowns of Aragon (Catalonia, Valencia, and Aragon) and Castile during the 14th and 15th centuries. |
