Here is a one-page Timeline summary that shows, for each 25-year period 300-1600 CE and for 28 geographic areas:

  • Where Jewish fighters are documented or reasonably believed to have existed.
  • A color-coded assessment of the political conditions vis-a-vis Jews, showing the level of freedom Jews enjoyed.

Each of the four sections below has two sets of entries in the Timeline: one lists events for each cell and another has the corresponding footnotes.

Please note that the color codes do not indicate economic conditions or the production/quality of scholarly works.
