Several centuries before the beginning of the Christian era, Jews lived around the Mediterranean, along the banks of the Euphrates. From the centuries before the advent of Islam to the first dynasties of the Muslim world, from the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 to the rise of Jewish centers in the Ottoman Empire, and finally from the growing influence of Europe in the Mediterranean world to the exile of Jews from the Arab world, this book highlights the most significant expressions of Jewish cultures in Islamic lands and the remarkable exchanges between the two communities throughout history.
