Re: Sometimes I wish more people knew....

[ketita]

Everyman's Talmud, and perhaps a book called Introduction to the Talmud and Midrash.
The difficulty you're running into is that Jewish society is shaped by halachic rulings, and in those days they had a Sanhedrin to clarify things, and also a Beit Din. Many societal changes would be directly affected and influenced by the rulings and decisions made. The period you're in is going into the Middle Ages, and you'd have some really big-name rabbis running around by then - like Maimonides. Maimonides was a realist, but how would his rulings be affected if magery was still common in society? He wasn't big on Kabbalah, and he ruled demons out of existence (unlike the more Kabbalistic schools of the time). So how would that reality have affected him - or he reality? It's a big question. Overall Judaism is on a trend of embracing the world (and technology, btw!).
So these things would have had long-reaching impact on the way Jews lived their lives and ordered their communities.

I really don't understand how you're not finding books about Jewish history. There are thousands of them O_O you've read Josephus, I hope? I mean that's just the very top of the barrel. And the two books of Maccabees.
