Revises the conventional view that the Jewish experience in medieval Spain - over the century before the expulsion of 1492 - was one of despair, persecution, and decline. Focusing on the town of Morvedre in the kingdom of Valencia, this title shows how and why Morvedre's Jewish community revived and flourished in the wake of the violence of 1391.
