European Jewry in the Age of Mercantilism, 1550–1750 won the Wolfson Literary Prize for History in 1986. For the first time, the history of early modern European Jewry is presented as a coherent whole and in a form recognizable to non-Jewish scholars, adhering to all of the standards of scholarship. An ambitious and much needed study of Jewish life and culture in the context of Europe's intellectual and religious history, the book presents the subject with sharply critical judgement and a highly original interpretative theory. For this third edition, the book has been updated and includes a new introduction.
