This first volume of the Hispania Judaica Series includes
more than 3,500 regesta in French, and original documents mostly from the
Archivo general de la Corona de Aragon, in Barcelona. It is intended primarily
for scholars and research students of Judeo-Spanish history, and of medieval
Jewish history in general. The sources, which cover a period of 114 years from 1213 to
1327, throw light on the political, religious, economic, social, communal and
cultural life of the Jews in the Aragonese-Catalan empire during the reigns of
James I (1213-1276), Pedro III (1276-1285), Alfonso III (1285- 1291) and James
II (1291-1327). This period was undoubtedly the golden age of Aragonese Jewry
for it then benefited from the leadership of rabbinic authorities of the caliber
of Nachmanides and Rabbi Shlomo ben Adret. Our sources indicate very clearly
that the status of the Jews in Aragon during this period was due in large
measure to the contribution they could make in many fields to the Aragonese
monarchs who were then establishing and expanding their empire. At one time or
another during this period, the realm of Aragon included Catalonia, Aragon,
Valencia, the Balearic Islands, large parts of Languedoc and Provence, Sicily
and Sardinia. Few medieval Jewish communities have ever been blessed with such
a wealth of documentary evidence as that that collected by Jean Regne and
presented to the reader in this book. Dinur Center has added six detailed Indexes to this massive
collection of documents and Varda Books, in the current electronic edition,
hyperlinked them all for easy finding.
