Vilified for their supposed usury, condemned by church leaders, and expelled by opportunistic rulers—such was the fate not only of medieval Europe’s Jewish communities, but also of the many Christian moneylenders in their midst. (That’s right, Jews were not the only moneylenders in the Middle Ages!) By recovering the forgotten existence of those who were frequently denounced as “Jew-ish” by hostile contemporaries, this lecture asks what we can learn about Jewish history from the experiences of those who came to share not only a language of exclusion but also the reality of expulsion.
