This manual focuses on the Romance languages as they appear in texts written by Jews, mostly using the Hebrew alphabet. It provides a comprehensive overview of the Jews and the Romance languages in the Middle Ages (part I) as well as after the expulsions (part II). 20th- and 21st-century Judaeo-Spanish varieties are discussed and described in a section apart (III), given that Judaeo-Spanish can be considered as a language of its own.
