Rövid leírás:

This collection is an introductory historical survey and selective cultural analysis of the development, coalescence, and eventual waning of a diasporic civilization?that of the Jews of the early modern period (ca. 1391?1789) in Europe, the Ottoman Empire, and key nodes of the Iberian Empires in the Americas.

This collection is an introductory historical survey and selective cultural analysis of the development, coalescence, and eventual waning of a diasporic civilization?that of the Jews of the early modern period (ca. 1391?1789) in Europe, the Ottoman Empire, and key nodes of the Iberian Empires in the Americas.


Each chapter explores key factors that shaped both distinctive early modern Jewish communities and a remarkably coalescent and far broader community-of-communities. The contributors engage and answer the following questions: What do historians mean by ?early modernity,? and to what extent does the concept illuminate the history and culture(s) of Jews from the end of the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment? What were the general demographic contours of the Jewish diaspora over this period and how did they change? How did culture, politics, technology, economics, and gender shape diasporic Jewish communities across eastern and western Europe and the New World over the course of some 400 years? Ultimately, the work renders a portrait of coherence and diversity, continuity and discontinuity, in early modern Jewish life within and across temporal and geographic boundaries.


Early Modern Jewish Civilization is essential reading for all students of Jewish history and civilization and early modern history more broadly.
