A comparative and global history of the Jews for the early modern period, 1400-1700. This book traces the remarkable demographic changes experienced by Jews around the globe and assesses the impact of those changes on Jewish communal and social structures, religious and cultural practices, and relations with non-Jews.

Drawing on a range of sources, including chronicles, liturgical works, books of customs, memorybooks, biblical commentaries, rabbinic responsa and community ledgers, this book offers a reassessment of Jewish community and identity during a turbulent era.
