The origins of Judaism's regional 'subcultures' are poorly understood, as are Jewish identities other than 'Ashkenaz' and 'Sepharad'. Through case studies and close textual readings, this volume illuminates the role of geopolitical boundaries, cross-cultural influences, and migration in the medieval formation of Jewish regional identities.
