Présence juive en Alsace et Lorraine médiévales

By Simon Schwarzfuchs and Jean-Luc Fray

Les éditions du Cerf, 12-2015, 440 p.

This book brings together two items often put together : the two former regions of Alsace and Lorraine, but also an misleading association : the reader will quickly realise the big differnces between these two regions, altough attached, regarding their geography, toponymy and general history, like the Jewish presence on its ground, until the Medieval period.

This “situational analysis” will please the researchers, students and curious readers who wish to know more about teh Medieval time lived by the Jews on these lands.
