La judería de Briviesca en la Edad Media: una aproximación histórica-documental

Abstract

This article provides a historical overview of the Jews of Briviesca through an exhaustive documentary compilation of different sources, attempting to offer an analysis of the main stages in the genesis, development and subsequent disappearance of its aljama, from the 12th to the 15th century. Special attention is paid to the spatial location of the Jewish quarter, to the commercial, tax collection and credit activities of its Jews under royal and noble rule, as well as to its material culture. It also highlights some references to this aljama in Hebrew sources and in documentation from the Burgos Cathedral Archive and the National Historical Archive.
