Although Closely Focused On The Remarkable Hebrew Firstcrusade Narratives, Robert Chazan'S New Interpretation Of These Texts Is Anything But Narrow, As His Title, God, Humanity, And History, Strongly Suggests. The Three Surviving Hebrew Accounts Of The Crusaders' Devastating Assaults On Rhineland Jewish Communities During The Spring Of 1096 Have Been Examined At Length, But Only Now Can We Appreciate The Extent To Which They Represent Their Turbulent Times.After A Close Analysis Of The Texts Themselves, Chazan Addresses The Objectives Of The Three Narratives. He Compares These Accounts With Earlier Jewish History Writing And With Contemporary Crusade Historiography. It Is In Their Disjuncture With Past Forms Of Jewish Historical Narration And Their Amazing Parallels With Latin Crusade Narratives That The Hebrew Narratives Are Most Revealing. We See How They Reflect The Embeddedness Of Early Ashkenazic Jewry In The Vibrant Atmosphere Of Lateeleventh And Earlytwelfthcentury Northern Europe.
