Much of Jewish culture and history has been informed by the relationship Jews had with members of other religious communities. This series publishes monographs and article collections on all aspects of Jewish culture but most especially encourages contributions which focus on Jewish religious, social, literary, scientific, and artistic relations with non-Jews from late antiquity to the early modern period. The series encompasses not only Western Europe, but also Byzantium, the Caucasus, Russia, the Middle East, and the Persianate world, all regions of Asia, Africa, especially Ethiopia, and the Americas. In addition, the series is open to works which address instances of invented or adopted Jewish identity, or imagined Jews.
