Gegenstand des Buches sind jüdische Friedhöfe des mittelalterlichen Reichs, die über Jahrzehnte, oft sogar Jahrhunderte hinweg bestanden. Das Studium dieser religiös exklusiven Orte ermöglicht es, den Umgang mit der jüdisch-christlichen Differenz in seinem überaus weiten Möglichkeitsspektrum zu erfassen. Rekonstruiert werden die Begräbnisstätten mittels ihrer fünf wesentlichen Elemente: Fläche, Einfriedung, Tote, Grabsteine und Besucher. Dabei bietet die Konzentration auf ausgewählte Orte der Bestattung die Chance, neben den spektakulären Momenten der interreligiösen Begegnung auch jene Teile der Wirklichkeit zu erfassen, die in ihrer Alltäglichkeit gewöhnlich unterbelichtet bleiben und oft bereits in der Aufmerksamkeit der Zeitgenossen im Hintergrund standen. Das Buch, das den mittelalterlichen jüdischen Friedhof erstmals monographisch behandelt, zeigt, dass die Begräbnisstätten der religiösen Minderheit keineswegs primär Orte des Konflikts waren, an denen sich also die religiöse Differenz als besonders problematisch erwiesen hätte. Stattdessen bietet es Einblick in eine multireligiöse Gesellschaft, in der jüdische und christliche Lebensräume zumeist auf selbstverständliche Weise mit- und nebeneinander existierten.

"Why do we bury the dead? To honor and respect them? To provide closure and comfort to the living? To provide the dead a final resting place? Tobit buried the dead as the ultimate work of mercy, and its pervasive presence in the narrative discourse of the book of Tobit invites reflection on and consideration of the reason for the practice of burial. The narrative drama radiates a universal sense of what it means to be in exile, namely, that it is an experience of death. Weaving together a complex of ideas related to Israelite interment practices and the reality of Israel's exile from the land given to them by God, this book explores the significance of burial as it relates to God's outstanding promises and Tobit's hopes for the household of Jacob."--
