“Church historians will find much value in these articles pertaining to events in thirteenth-century Christianity. … This book is valuable for its presentation not only of Christians and Jews in their respective communities but also for its in-depth presentation of how the relationship between Christians and Jews changed so dramatically from the beginning of the thirteenth century to the beginning of the fourteenth century.” (Steven J. McMichael, Church History, Vol. 87 (1), March, 2018)“Elisheva Baumgarten and Judah Galinsky's volume … is a welcome reminder of the Jews' long history in the French Hexagone. … All the essays are well-researched, meticulously edited, and to the point. Indeed, this a rare example of an edited book with a coherent construction and in which the different essays are in real dialogue with one another. … this is a volume of uncommon thematic coherence and all together a superb piece of scholarship.” (Flora Cassen, The Medieval Review, 2016)
