In this much-acclaimed study, Ariel Toaff captures all the intricacies of everyday life in the medieval Jewish communities of Umbria and shows clearly how the common stereotype of a single, undifferentiated Jewish community does not reflect the reality. He presents a picture of a complex society that, far from being an isolated minority, actually contributed greatly to contemporary society and played a significant role in shaping it.
