Abstract

This study uses an extensive body of archival evidence from Latin-Christian sources to explore economic and social interactions between Provençal Jews and Christians. Evidence discussed in section one indicates that the city’s Jewish and Christian communities interacted to a significant degree, and not just in the domain of moneylending. Data derived from a network analysis suggests that Jews were prominent in providing brokerage services. In the second section, analysis of a small sample of Jewish estate inventories indicates that the material profiles of Jewish and Christian families were very similar. In the third section, an analysis of a register of debt collection shows that Jews were involved in credit relations at a rate that was proportional to their population. Jewish moneylenders filled an economic niche by providing Christians with the liquidity to pay off structural debts generated by the political economy of rents and taxes.

中世纪晚期普罗旺斯犹太人与基督徒的互动

这项研究使用了来自拉丁基督教来源的大量档案证据，来探索普罗旺斯犹太人和基督徒之间的经济和社会互动。第一节讨论的证据表明，该市的犹太和基督教社区在很大程度上相互影响，而不仅仅是在放贷领域。来自网络分析的数据表明，犹太人在提供经纪服务方面表现突出。在第二节中，对犹太遗产清单的一小部分样本的分析表明，犹太和基督教家庭的物质状况非常相似。在第三节中，对债务催收登记册的分析表明，犹太人参与信贷关系的比率与其人口成正比。犹太放债人通过向基督徒提供流动性来偿还租金和税收等政治经济产生的结构性债务，填补了经济领域的空白。

期刊介绍： Medieval Encounters promotes discussion and dialogue accross cultural, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries on the interactions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultures during the period from the fourth through to the sixteenth century C.E. Culture is defined in its widest form to include art, all manner of history, languages, literature, medicine, music, philosophy, religion and science. The geographic limits of inquiry will be bounded only by the limits in which the traditions interacted. Confluence, too, will be construed in its widest form to permit exploration of more indirect interactions and influences and to permit examination of important subjects on a comparative basis.
