Abstract:
A paper given at an international colloquium, June 1982. Surveys Christian-Jewish relations in the Papal States of Provence during the 17th-18th centuries. Jews in Carpentras, Cavaillon, Avignon, and L'Isle-sur-Sorge were subject to legally-imposed segregation with enforced humiliations such as enclosure in special quarters and the wearing of a yellow hat. Popular anti-Jewish hostility was expressed by the "capo", the obligation to kneel down and take off one's hat to a Christian, in blood libel charges (Cavaillon 1713), and in violence and pogroms (Cavaillon 1651, Carpentras 1682). The emancipation of 1790 was almost forced on the Jews, who were afraid to abandon the yellow hat and to exercise their electoral rights in the face of popular hostility.
