| dc.description.abstract | Evidence for the successful conversion of non-Jews in Ashkenaz (northern France and Germany) during the High Middle Ages (1050-1300) can be found within the rabbinic literature of this period, an especially felicitous development given the virtual absence of any archival material that might shed light on this phenomenon. 1 R. Joel b. Isaac h a -Levi of Bonn (d. c. 1200, father of Rabiah and a noted German Tosafist and halakhist in his own right) describes an actual case of conversion in which the convert was able to embrace Judaism fully and completely: ''And the Spirit went forth from the Lord and rested in the heart of that man (ורוח נשא מאת ה וינח בלב האיש הזה), R. Abraham son of Abraham our father:'2 | en_US |
