The essay discusses the mobility of medieval Jews from the Rus' region of Eastern Europe. The author explores the role of Jews from the Rus' in cross-cultural exchange, focusing on an example from 12th-13th-century England and examining entries for the name Isaac in English historical sources. The author discusses a 13th-14th-century Hebrew psalter from an English collection featuring Hebrew, Arabic, and Cyrillic alphabets, suggesting that it was created by a Slavic-speaking Jew.
