Abstract
The catalogue contains entries for every manuscript source that could be found that relates to Jews in medieval London, including those who converted to Christianity. Each entry records the manuscript source, date, the relevant folios, the page numbers in the published edition (if one exists), summarises the information relating to London’s Jews, and gives a basic description of the manuscript (number of membranes/folios, languages, any damage). The catalogue begins with the twelfth century and stretches through to the early fifteenth, but the bulk of the material is from the thirteenth century. Most of the material does not directly relate to the Tower, being records of Jewish debts all over England.
