| Abstract | There were a number of institutions, both Christian and Jewish, governing inter-religious entanglements in the European Middle Ages: be those political, judicial, economic, ecclesiastical, or rabbinic. This four paper session will consider two institutional settings that dictated Jewish-Christian networks, approaching each from both the Jewish and Christian perspectives. The first two papers focus on political institutions of monarchy: Sandra Schieweck will present the increasingly restrictive royal policies for Jews in the Iberian Peninsula from 14th and 15th centuries, whereas Hannah Teddy Schachter will discuss Jewish life in the Queens' lands of 12th-14th century France and Castile. The last two papers address religious institutions: Paola Tartakoff will speak about ecclesiastical networks and their care for Jewish converts to Christianity in France and Spain, whereas Moishi Chechik will take the case of one of the most influential Jewish legal scholars of the medieval period, Rabbi Meir ben Baruch, to consider rabbinic institutions, e.g. in which Christian or Jewish settings they were established, and the networks upon which they were built. |
