These notes are for a lecture given by Professor Kurt Schubert in the summer semester of 1992. The author begins with a historical overview of Late Antiquity before addressing the situation of the Jewish communities in Christian and Muslim Spain. The topic of Jewish art is also touched on. The last page of the E-book is a handout for the students. Also used, but not uploaded here is an article by Heinz Löwe: Die Apostasie des Pfalzdiakons Bodo (838) und das Judentum der Chasaren (The Apostasy of the Pfalz Deacon Bodo (838) and Judaism of the Khazars) In: Gerd Althoff, Festschrift Karl Schmid, Person und Gemeinschaft im Mittelalter, (Person and Community in the Middle Ages), Stuttgart: Jan Thorbecke edition, 1988.
