The Myth of the Medieval Anglo-Jewish Ladder Maker: (Real) Jewish Professions in Medieval England

Dean Irwin is a Visiting Fellow of the University of Lincoln. Before joining the institution he completed his PhD at Canterbury Christ Church University, under the supervision of Professor Louise Wilkinson and Dr Leonie Hicks. His thesis examined the extant acknowledgements of debt, or records generated by Jewish moneylending activities, which were produced between 1194 and 1276. He has also published a series of articles on both those records, and the administrative processes which underpinned their production, use, storage, and preservation. The medieval Lincoln Jewry played an important part in his study, with a chapter being dedicated to debtors at the Lincoln archa.
