The Jews in the Carolingian Empire
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
The Carolingian dinasty granted the Jews of its empire a period of prosperity and welfare. Although there is no Jewish document left of that time, laws, Christian chronicles and works of religious polemical content, especially the ones written by Agobard and Amulo of Lyons, allow reconstruct the framework of their life within the Empire. In them it is possible to find ancient Jewish literary traditions from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, like Tolĕdot Yešu and Ši‘ur Qomah materials. Such is the aim of this paper.
