This review is from: Tradition and Crisis: Jewish Society at the End of the Middle Ages (Medieval Studies) (Paperback)
This study of Jewish life at the end of the Middle Ages was when it was first published in the early sixties considered a breakthrough work. The late Yaakov Katz was for many decades one of the outstanding students of Jewish social life. This work is a model of clarity in both conception and writing.

This review is from: Tradition and Crisis: Jewish Society at the End of the Middle Ages (Medieval Studies) (Paperback)
This is, unfortunately, the only book of Jewish Medieval thought for the secular reader, that I know of. As such, it's a valuable source, but it's incomplete.
