Source Analysis: Jewish Communities in Medieval & Early Modern Britain

Source A: A Merchant's Letter from 1600

"The Jewish community has long been a part of our town, yet they are often viewed with suspicion and fear. They gather in their own areas, trading and practicing their faith quietly, but many believe they hold secret alliances and influence beyond what is visible. Some townspeople accuse them of causing economic trouble, while others see them as helpful in commerce. The authorities keep a cautious eye on them, but they remain a vital part of the town’s economy and society." Provenance: William Thomas, 1600, letter written by a local merchant to a fellow trader
