Research Note: Toleration and Persecution: The Jewish Community of Medieval Regensburg

Authors

Donald L. Keay, Bridgewater State College

Abstract

It is often assumed that European Jews of the Middle Ages were a small minority constantly harassed and persecuted by a bigoted Christian population determined to annihilate them. Had such a situation existed, the Christians surely would have succeeded. A truer picture, however, is one of long periods of peace and prosperity as Jews lived side by side with their Christian neighbors, both benefiting from social and economic relations.
