The Cambridge History of Judaism-Cambridge University Press
Volume 6 examines the history of Judaism during the second half of the
Middle Ages. Through the first half of the Middle Ages, the Jewish
communities of western Christendom lagged well behind those of eastern
Christendom and the even more impressive Jewries of the Islamic world.
As Western Christendom began its remarkable surge forward in the
eleventh century, this progress had an impact on the Jewish minority as
well. The older Jewries of southern Europe grew and became more
productive in every sense. Even more strikingly, a new set of Jewries
were created across northern Europe, when this undeveloped area was
strengthened demographically, economically, militarily, and culturally.
From the smallest and weakest of the world's Jewish centers in the year
1000, the Jewish communities of western Christendom emerged - despite
considerable obstacles - as the world's dominant Jewish center by the
end of the Middle Ages. This demographic, economic, cultural, and
spiritual dominance was maintained down into modernity.
