Reassessing Jewish Life in Medieval Europe by Robert Chazan

Роберт Казан, "Новый взгляд на жизнь евреев в Средние века", 2010: This book re-evaluates the prevailing notion that Jews in medieval Christian Europe lived under an appalling regime of ecclesiastical limitation, governmental exploitation and expropriation, and unceasing popular violence. Robert Chazan argues that, while Jewish life in medieval Western Christendom was indeed beset with grave difficulties, it was nevertheless an environment rich in opportunities; the Jews of medieval Europe overcame obstacles, grew in number, explored innovative economic options, and fashioned enduring new forms of Jewish living. His research also provides a reconsideration of the legacy of medieval Jewish life, which is often depicted as equally destructive and projected as the underpinning of the twentieth-century catastrophes of antisemitism and the Holocaust. Dr Chazan's research proves that, although Jewish life in the medieval West laid the foundation for much Jewish suffering in the post-medieval world, it also stimulated considerable Jewish ingenuity, which lies at the root of impressive Jewish successes in the modern West. - Provides an important re-evaluation of current thought on the role of Jews in medieval Christian Europe - Important reconsideration of how the medieval experiences of Jews in Europe shaped later events critical to Jewish history, providing a new perspective - Provides a nuanced discussion of the interaction between two cultures, considering the perspectives of both Полистать: https://books.google.ru/books/about/Reassessing_Jewish_Life_in_Medieval_Euro.html?id=rQH8S57PtVsC Рецензии: https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/2012-01-009-kazan-r-novyy-vzglyad-na-zhizn-evreev-v-srednie-veka-chazan-r-reassesing-jewish-life-in-the-middle-ages-cambridge-cambridge-univ https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/tmr/article/view/17253/23371 https://ejournals.bc.edu/ojs/index.php/scjr/article/view/5194 https://academic.oup.com/ahr/article/116/5/1556/13180/Robert-ChazanReassessing-Jewish-Life-in-Medieval https://muse.jhu.edu/article/454927 Автор: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Chazan http://opac.regesta-imperii.de/lang_en/autoren.php?name=Chazan%2C+Robert Иные труды: - The Jews of Medieval Western Christendom, 1000-1500 (2007): http://libgen.io/book/index.php?md5=D735E8A92F41DE98E4F40B7C7E5F528A Обзор: http://cojs.org/overview-_the_jews_of_medieval_western_christendom-_1000-1500/ Рецензия: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=13288 - Fashioning Jewish Identity in Medieval Western Christendom (2004): http://libgen.io/book/index.php?md5=9F99B2B73E15FA3D24302749B8E0676B - Daggers of Faith: Thirteenth-Century Christian Missionizing and Jewish Response (1989): http://libgen.io/book/index.php?md5=D6443FA50F4B768853BBD2C4A30C8239 - The Trial of the Talmud: Paris, 1240 (2012); рецензии: https://www.academia.edu/16432775/Review_of_The_Trial_of_the_Talmud_Paris_1240_hebrew_texts_translated_by_John_Friedman_latin_texts_translated_by_Jean_Connell_Hoff_historical_essay_by_Robert_Chazan_Toronto_Pontifical_Institute_of_Mediaeval_Studies_2012_ https://muse.jhu.edu/article/520836
