The Jewish Sermon in Fourteenth Century Spain

by Carmi Horowitz

Published 31 December 1989

The focus of this study of the medieval Jewish sermon is the "Derashop 'al Hatorah" of Joshua ibn Shu'eib, a 14th century Spanish rabbi. Horowitz uses the sermon literature to examine the dissemination of ideas and their penetration to wider levels of the population, and to provide a picture of the Jews of 14th century Spain.
