A sociologist and historian reviews the story of Jewish artisanship from its beginnings, in biblical times, through the late eighteenth century. He details Jewish involvement in a variety of craft activities and demonstrates how Jewish guilds were used as political pawns by the rulers of the countries where the artisans lived. This title, originally published in 1965, is available on-demand only.
