Index
Attitudes to death and the afterlife underwent significant transformation in high medieval Europe. Through a detailed analysis of ghost tales in the Ashkenazi pietistic work Sefer Hasidim, this highly original study discusses the profound Christian influence on a Jewish religious enclave that led to a radical departure from traditional rabbinic thought.
