"Levi's Vindication is a searching re-examination of the nature and significance of the '1007 Anonymous, ' a Hebrew fiction in historical guise that has often been read as a record of early eleventh-century events. Stow's meticulous research demonstrates beyond question that the text is in fact a thirteenth-century production, and that it provides a rare and important glimpse into its Jewish author's understanding of the relationship between royal and papal power during that crucial century for Jewish-Christian relations."
