Description

The Jews of northern France, Germany, and England, known collectively as Ashkenazic Jewry, have commanded the attention of scholars since the beginnings of modern Jewish historiography. In the 12th and 13th centuries, Franco-German Jewry produced an impressive corpus of Talmudic and halakhic compositions known collectively as Tosafot, that revolutionized the study of rabbinic literature.
