Abstract
The academic study of Jewish history has, during the past century and a half, done an admirable job of unearthing (and to a more limited degree, processing) vast quantities of information concerning the Jews in their various areas of settlement during the Middle Ages. A great deal is now known, although not as much as could be, about the legal status of the Jews, their economic activities, spiritual trends, communal organization and intellectual virtuosity, to name but a few of the academic subdisciplines that have emerged within the field. Despite the numerous monographs, surveys and collections of documents now available, however, we are still substantially in the dark about the fundamental but easily resolved question of what life was really like for the individual medieval Jew.
