The Jewish Tale in The Middle Ages

Between Ashkenaz and Sepharad

Synopsis

The book revolves around two axes: the first axis is the tracking of folk fiction (founding legends) of the Sephardic and Ashkenazi communities in the Middle Ages as an instructive mirror to the cultural differences between the two communities; The other axis is tracing the development of the Ashkenazi story in Yiddish in the sixteenth century, from the nuclear phase to its expanded and developed design.
