The Jews in Sicily: 1478-1489

A compilation of documents, found in various libraries and archives, pertaining to the history of the Jews in Sicily. Each entry gives a brief description of the contents of the document in English, the date and the source of the document, and the original Latin text. Volumes includes indexes of persons, geographical names, and subjects. For antisemitism, see the subject index under badge, Jewish; jurisdiction, over Jews; persecution and harassment (of Jews); taxes. A significant number of documents issued by the king or members of the nobility instruct local authorities or clergymen to stop molesting or harassing the Jews.-- See: Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism.
