Free front endpaper inscribed and signed by Bernard Dov Cooperman. Remarkable work in which Jacob Katz describes the development of Jewish apartness after the Middle Ages which reached its apogee in the 18th century, giving specific attention to social stratification. The author examines the dynamics of Jewish society in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and probes into Jewish attitudes toward the Gentile world. He describes various aspects of Jewish communal and super-communal institutions: family kinship, synagogue, schools and economic activities. He shows the importance of two major internal movements for change, Hasidism and Haskala, to Jewish communities in various parts of Europe, and to those Jews that had already resettled in the Holy Land. Very minor and sporadic creasing and rubbing along edges of dust-jacket. DJ in overall good+, binding and interior in very good condition.
