The Mediterranean Diaspora in Late Antiquity examines the fate of Greek and Latin-spreaking Jews living in the Mediterranean diaspora after the Roman emperor Constantine threw his patronage to the emerging orthodox (Nicene) Christian churches. Kraemer's book...reveals the forgotten realities not of a minority group for a brief moment in time, but of a huge empire-wide stakeholder group over multiple centuries. Just by its topic, then, it would likely prove important, but the rigour of its readings and its sensitivity to its subjects make it an instant classic.
