Jews in the Early Modern World: summary, description and annotation

Jews in the Early Modern World argues that the years between 1400 and 1700 represented a discrete, cohesive and important period in Jewish history. Given the significant demographic shifts that began just before and ended just after this period, remarkable changes occurred in the history and experiences of Jews around the world. This volume begins with a broad context of Jewish experiences under medieval Christianity and Islam. It then turns to the early modern period, first providing an overview of Jewish demography and settlement. Next, the nature and structure of Jewish community and social structures in the early modern period are explored. In the final two chapters, this book presents a broad overview of Jewish religious and cultural life and Jewish relations with non-Jews throughout the early modern period.
Jews in the Early Modern World will serve as a useful resource for a wide range of courses in medieval and early modern history, Jewish history and world history. It includes a bibliography of English-language works cited, a wealth of suggestions for further reading, a glossary of terms, a timeline of key events, and numerous maps and images.

This book has evolved over many years, and as I have thought about its contents and written its pages, I have benefited from wonderfully stimulating conversations with many different colleagues. I owe each of them a real debt of gratitude, for listening, correcting, criticizing (at times vigorously), and supporting me throughout this process.
I thank my colleagues at the Newberry Library, who have provided generous assistance for this and other projects over the past several years. This project could never have materialized without the assistance of my colleagues at Spertus Institutes Asher Library. In particular, many thanks go to Gail Goldberg, for her untiring efforts to track down more obscure articles and volumes than should be expected in the entire career of the most dedicated professional, and to Glenn Ferdman, director of the Asher Library, who literally rolled up his sleeves, guiding me through extensive rare book and map collections and reading an early draft of the manuscript.
This book has benefited from the insights of a wide range of students, friends, and colleagues. My students at Spertus have encountered many of the ideas in this book in various seminars over the yearsthey have provided me with encouragement and held me accountable for as much clarity and cohesion as I could deliver. I extend very special thanks to Professor Luke Clossey and the students in his undergraduate early modern world history survey at Simon Fraser University, Mandeep Bal, Denis Boko, Chad Cowles, Bailee Erickson, Stephen Greenfield, Lauren Ogston, Sasha Regehr, Anthony Sullivan, Lucas Van Meer-Mass, and Kenny Yen. They read quickly and commented extensively and constructively on the first full draft of the manuscript and helped improve the final product immeasurably. Alissa Tanzar, in her capacity as research assistant, provided similarly crucial feedback on the text; she also offered invaluable assistance in the collection and selection of images for the volume. Tony Doyle and Tracy Kostenbader labored extensively in preparing maps and images for the book, and I am appreciative of their very skilled efforts.
My colleagues Lynda Crawford, Bella Ehrenpreis, and Hal Lewis read and commented on the manuscript and challenged me to refocus and improve throughout. Brian Romer deserves special recognition for all his efforts in eliciting the idea for this book, soliciting marvelous feedback, and shepherding this volume through to publication. Without the support of my home institution, the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, and its president Howard Sulkin, this volume would never have become a reality. The volume is in many ways an attempt to bring together the rich resources of the Institute and to practice what has been a powerful vision of educational integration at Spertus.
In the end, this book would never have been possible in conception or execution without the support and love of my wife Juli and our children, Malkaya, Chanan, and Ronia. They listened patiently (if at times captively) to the ideas in the volume and were always willing to share me and my time with a project whose relevance to real life, or any life for that matter, was not always immediately clear. As always, Juli has been a partner in everything I do, and this work is as much attributable to her as to me and my pen.
