About This Item
Clarkson Potter Publishers, 1970. This book is filled with photos of medals from 1503 with a Jewish medal to 1815 when Napoleon fell from power. This study reflects the tensions of pre-emancipation Jewish life. The Corn-Jew medals exemplify the prevalent early notion that Jewish merchants hoarded grain to produce famines in league with the devil. Besides portraying anti-Semitism, the early medals showed Jewish converts and Marranos, and later more typically commemorated individual Jews and Jewish activities. Chosen from the principal collections throughout the world, the medals are reproduced and cataloged for variants, metal types, sizes, relevant literature, and location.. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good +. Illus. by b/w Photos.
