Feeding the Eternal City: Jewish and Christian Butchers in the Roman Ghetto

Between 1555 and 1870, papal authorities created legal roadblocks to keep Rome’s ghetto-bound Jews from obtaining kosher meat. But Jewish butchers found ways to circumvent canon law by working with their Christian counterparts. Kenneth Stow describes this complex collaboration, which enabled Jews to maintain their traditions in a hostile city.
