From 17 to 21 October 1993, some two dozen scholars from the United States, Israel and the European Community convened at the Herzog August Bibliothek, to explore the subject of the Jews and Judaism in medieval Christian thought. Twenty of these papers, revised by their authors for publication, haven been collected in the present volume. The topics of the papers can be divided into four groups which provide this volume with its thematic structure:

Foundations

Theology of the High Middle Ages

Church, State, and Jew in France and Spain

Mentalities of the Later Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Reformation
