Jüdische Lebenswelten im Osmanischen Reich

Sephards and Romaniots, shaped the religious, cultural, economic, and social life of their community and surroundings. In transnational and interdisciplinary individual studies, the diversity of Jewish lifeworlds is addressed in the context of legal-societal acceptance and rejection.
