- Abstract
The medieval history of the Jews of southern France has improved considerably. Since 1945 its development has become evident throughout the southern territory, stimulated by the existence of sources in Hebrew (from within the communities) and Latin (from outside). In those privileged places where a true profane and philosophical basis of Jewish science developed, the rich documentation has permitted the growth of basic works founded on the study of notary sources (R. W. Emery); but also the Occitan-Catalan Hebrew sources have conserved a rich documentation (Ch. Touati, Y. T. Assis, etc.). Emphasis has been placed on the "Aix School" of G. Duby, productive in the 1970s, when J. Shatzmiller started his initial research. The former County of Provence, where Jewish minorities were tolerated until 1501, lends itself commendably to the study of Jewish daily life through the examination of notary books. The county of Venaissin has its share in this historiographical panorama, as the various works on Gersonides have demonstrated.
