Piedmont was the chief geographical and political entity in northwestern Italy during the late Middle Ages and early modern times, its history dominated by that of the House of Savoy. Jews, largely of French extraction, settled there permanently and continuously from the second half of the fourteenth century. Their fortunes, their lives and their relations with the surrounding society and its notables are amply illustrated in this series, which, like the series on the Jews of Milan, is based primarily on documentation preserved in the archives of the region. All the documents are summarized in English, with selected texts reproduced in full in the original Latin or Italian.
Volume One: 1297–1582 (1986)
