Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jewish Life in the Middle Ages
Though I have everywhere referred to the works from which I have derived incidental facts, or from which I have borrowed quotations, there are three writers to whom I should like to express my more general indebtedness. The works of Dr. M. Giidemann, Dr. A. Berliner, and Mr. Joseph Jacobs have been of constant service to me. One thing I have done to justify my frequent use of their works. I have verified their quotations wherever possible. Indeed, I honestly believe that not five in a hundred of the many citations made in the course of the following pages have been set down without reference to the original sources. Moreover, a large proportion of my quotations, and almost all my citations from Responsa, have been made at first hand.
