9789004166011 - Scepter of Judah: The Jewish Autonomy in the Eighteenth-Century Crown Poland (Studia Judaeoslavica, Band 2) von Kalik, Judith (2 Ergebnisse)

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. First edition. Octavo. xi, (1), 404pp. Indices and bibliography. Gray buckram, lettered & decorated in blue, with lilac bands at head & foot of spine. Illustrated with 15 maps, genealogical diagrams and numerous census tables and poll tax lists. The newly discovered complete corpus of the Jewish poll-tax lists provides a totally new outlook on Jewish autonomy in eighteenth century Poland from which a full reconstruction of the Jewish settlement can be drawn. (OCLC) Polish-Lithuanian Jewry was the center of the early modern Jewish world, and the most outstanding symbol of its glory was the famous Jewish autonomy. In spite of the considerable attention that scholars have paid to the Council of the Four Lands, surprisingly little information was available from the Jewish autonomous institutions in the Polish-Lituanian Commonwealth. This changed, however, with the discovery of the complete corpus of Jewish poll-tax lists from 1717-1764. The present book is based upon the analysis of these new sources which supply a diachronic dimension, about half a century in duration, to systematic data about the Jewish population in Poland. It provides the full statistical information in the form of tables and is supplemented with a series of maps. (Publisher) Contents: The development of Jewish autonomy -- The structure of Jewish autonomy -- Jewish demography and geography -- The administrative structure of the urban Jewish population -- The administrative structure of the rural Jewish population -- The "leaseholders' belt" -- Jewish political leadership -- A case study: the Jewish subjects of Kazimierz Granowski, Voivode of Rawa. (OCLC) Volume 2 of the Brill series, "Studia Judaeoslavica." (SJS).
