Poverty and Charity in the Jewish Community of Medieval Egypt - Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World
Mark R. Cohen
What was it like to be poor in the Middle Ages? In the past, the answer to this question came only from institutions and individuals who gave relief to the less fortunate. This book studies poverty in a premodern Jewish community - from the viewpoint of both the poor and those who provided for them.
