Additional Details

first edition of the first comprehensive history of the Jews of England. "Though concentrating on the medieval period, the work contains a section on the resettlement and on the English Jews of his own day. It shows appreciation of the magnitude of royal exploitation of the Jews in the Middle Ages and a healthy skepticism of ritual murder charges"--EJ XV, 1291.
