Drawing extensively from primary rabbinic Responsa literature - including the legal rulings of figures like the Rashba and the Ribash—Neuman reconstructs both the external relationships and internal mechanics of Spanish-Jewish life. The work systematically analyzes the legal and economic standing of Jews under Christian monarchs, the autonomous governance of the local communities (aljamas), tax and judicial systems, as well as domestic life, education, religious practices, and social ethics, offering a detailed portrait of Sephardic society before the 1492 expulsion.
