Detailed
Description |
|
First comprehensive history of the Jews of England. Though concentrating on the medieval period, the work contains a section on the resettlement and on the English Jews of his own day. It shows appreciation of the magnitude of royal exploitation of the Jews in the Middle Ages and a healthy skepticism of ritual murder charges. lt is largely based on the Short Demurrer... (1656) of William Prynne.
D'Blossiers Tovey (1692–1745), was an English clergyman.
