To understand the drama, persecution and achievement of the Jews in medieval Spain, we must first understand the evidence that survives. In this pioneering academic historical study, Joseph Jacobs turns the sources themselves into the subject of inquiry, asking what they reveal, what they conceal, and how far they can be trusted. The questions go far deeper. With the steady eye of a scholar steeped in Graetz Jewish history yet unafraid to challenge it, Jacobs offers a lucid, critical survey of the foundations on which any scholarly history of Jews in the Iberian Peninsula and of the Spanish Inquisition must rest. This classic in the historiography of Judaism maps the principal sources for Jewish history in Spain, clarifying their origin, bias and reliability. It remains an indispensable reference for historians, for Jewish studies scholars, and for anyone exploring Sephardic Jewish history, medieval Spanish Judaism, Iberian Peninsula Jews or Spanish Inquisition scholarship. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today and future generations. More than a reprint - a collectors item and a cultural treasure, presented in a careful modern edition that speaks both to serious students and to thoughtful general readers drawn to enduring works of historical inquiry.
