Two New Books on Medieval European Jewry
H-German has a review of two new books on Medieval European Jewry. The first book is Susan L. Einbinder, No Place of Rest: Jewish Literature, Expulsion, and the Memory of Medieval France. The second book is David Joshua Malkiel, Reconstructing Ashkenaz: The Human Face of Franco-German Jewry, 1000-1250. I finally arrived at the AJS conference and I’ll be looking for Malkiel’s book. My paper presentation was rescheduled from Sunday to Monday, so later on today I’ll try and post it online in addition to some summaries of other papers.
