  • Descrição: Throughout the medieval Europe, Hebrew legal documents were accepted as evidence in Christian courts and preserved as proof in archives, chanceries, and cartularies. This study joins a growing body of scholarship that deals in such records. Here, Perry limits itself to Jewish bilingual charters, in Latin and Hebrew, which are the quintessential expression of the wider phenomenon of Jewish documentation within the Latin legal system. Specifically, it concentrates on the earliest manifestation of such documents in Christian Europe: bilingual charters from tenth-and eleventh-century Catalonia. After offering a survey of this corpus, the study attempts to provide a cultural history of these documents, paying particular attention to questions of language and identity. It wishes to contextualize these documents within the world of Latin documents and a visual and oral culture. Through a comparison of Hebrew formulas in Catalonian bilingual deeds to Latin and Aramaic formulas, she argues that the use of Hebrew was a cultural choice that served as an identity marker. Jewish landowners selected this linguistic option not as a rejection of Latin but within the context of increasing engagement with the Christian legal system.
