Atlas of medieval Jewish history - Beinart, Haim.; Karṭa (Firm) (Jerusalén : Carta, 1992)
Translation of: Aṭlas Karṭa le-toldot ʻam Yiśraʼel bi-Yeme ha-benayim. Jerusalem : Carta, 1981.
For the first time in English, here is a comprehensive visual introduction to the history of the Jewish people in the Middle Ages. The Atlas includes more than one hundred maps, with accompanying text, that give an in-depth review of Jewish history throughout the world from the 5th to the 17th centuries. The Atlas covers milestone events of Jewish history during this period: the dispersion of the Jews in the fourth and fifth centuries up to the Crusades; the Black Death; the expulsion from Spain; the persecutions of 1648 in eastern Europe and the Sabbatean movement. The maps and text illustrate the sequence of persecution, expulsion, migration, and destruction, on the one hand, and a spiritual, religious, and cultural flowering, on the other. For students, scholars, and the general reader, the Atlas of Medieval Jewish History is a welcome new reference that will be an indispensable guide to this era.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 118-119) and indexes.
