Summary:

Boundaries--physical, political, social, religious, and cultural--were a key feature of life in medieval and early modern Poland. By focusing on the ways in which these boundaries were respected, crossed, or otherwise negotiated, this volume throws new light on the contacts between Jews and Christians in Poland (including the vexed question of conversion), between the various Jewish elements, and between Jews in Poland and elsewhere.
