Responding to Violence: The Haskamot of Barcelona and the Jewish Political Tradition

Producción científica: Contribución a una revistaArtículoInvestigaciónrevisión exhaustiva

Resumen

The aim of this article is to present the Haskamot of Barcelona of 1354 in their political and legal con text. These agreements were a response to the difficult situation faced by the Jews of the Crown of Aragon in the 14th c. , when natural and human disasters threatened the survival of their communities. The target of this project was to assemble all the aljamas of the Crown in a supra-communal assembly of representatives. The drafters also wished to achieve a number a measures from the King and the Church improving the delicate situation of Catalan-Aragonese Jewry. These Haskamot, despite not succeeding in their objectives, are a perfect starting point for any research on the legal and jurisdic tional relations between Christians and Jews.
