Produktbeschreibung

Beginning with a sartorial study - how the Jews were marked on their clothing and what these marks meant - the book offers an in-depth analysis of anti-Jewish discrimination across three Italian city-states: Milan, Genoa, and Piedmont. It also examines the place of Jews and Jewry law in Early Modern European politics.
