Beschreibungen/Notizen
Elukin's treatment of Jewish-Christian relations in medieval Europe is an excellent contribution to the discussion of the subject. He nowhere glosses over the friction that inevitably arose between Jews and Christians. Coexistence with Christians came at a price that was mostly paid by the Jews themselves. They had to "compartmentalize their own ambivalent feelings about Christians," something they were largely, though not always successful in doing (p. 59). Elukin's emphasis on the need to read the sources critically in the light of the medieval background is a salutatory reminder for professionals in the field, but it also makes this book an excellent choice for a textbook in medieval Jewish history.
