| Özet: | In the late Middle Ages, Iberian Jewish quarters were frequently under the Church’s lordship, as Jewish communities rented property from ecclesiastical institutions. That would be the case of Évora, the second city of the kingdom and an episcopal See of demographical, cultural, and political importance, whose Judiaria Nova was mostly owned by the See’s canons and bacharéis. This article analyses the relationship between Jewish tenants and ecclesiastical landlords through their emphyteutic everyday interactions. Using Évora and its See’s lordship as a case study, I will be resorting to deeds, donations, sentences, and compositions to ascertain the status and treatment of Jews as tenants, framing religious identities within socio‑economic interests. |
