The Documents and Regesta from the Archives of Aragon, originally published in numerous volumes of the Revue des Etudes Juives some five decades ago and now brought together for the first time, relate the story of one of the most important and fascinating medieval communities, one which produced great scientists linguists, translators and writers, financiers and businessmen, politicians and diplomats, scholars and Rabbis.
