Jewish Inheritance
Dowries and Wills in Western Mediterranean Europe (14th-18th Centuries)
About this book
This volume examines wealth transmission in Jewish societies of the western Mediterranean between the 14th and 18th centuries, focusing on dowries and wills as central instruments. It explores how families organized property transfers, articulated matrimonial strategies, and managed inheritance disputes across diverse legal, social, and religious settings. Situated at the intersection of Jewish law, communal norms, and Christian legal frameworks, these practices generated tensions while also enabling negotiation and legal adaptation. In contexts marked by conversion, expulsion, and migration, they reshaped family structures and rights. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the volume conceptualizes inheritance as a continuous process from betrothal to succession.
