The Myth of the Medieval Jewish Moneylender
This book challenges a common historical narrative, which portrays medieval Jews as moneylenders who filled an essential economic role in Europe.

This book also documents why it is a myth for medieval Europe, and illuminates how changes in Jewish history change our understanding of European history. Each chapter offers a novel interpretation of central topics, such as the usury debate, commercial contracts, and moral literature on money and value to demonstrate how the revision of Jewish history leads to new insights in European history.
