Schraer, Michael, author. A stake in the ground : Jews and property investment in the medieval crown of Aragon / by Michael Schraer. Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2019] 1 online resource (300 pages). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier The medieval and early modern Iberian world, 1569-1934 ; volume 69 Includes bibliographical references and index. In A Stake in the Ground , Michael Schraer explores the economic functions of real estate amongst the Jews of the medieval crown of Aragon. He challenges the view of medieval Jews as primarily money-lenders and merchants, finding compelling evidence for extensive property trading and investment. Jews are found as landlords to Christian tenants, transferring land in dowries, wills and gifts. Property holdings were often extremely valuable. For some, property was a major part of their asset portfolios. Whilst many property transactions were linked to the credit boom, land also acted as a liquid and tradeable investment asset in its own right. This is a key contribution to the economic history of medieval Iberia and of medieval Jews.
