520 |a The paper should show that in the later Middle Ages the Jews of the Mediterranean countries did not live from money lending, as in Western and Central Europe, but engaged in maritime trade, as well as in crafts and other branches of trade. Many documents in the archives of Catalonia disclose that the Jews of this country were, until the end of the fourteenth century, very active in the trade with the Maghreb, Sicily and the Levant. In that period the Jews of Marseilles too carried on seaborne trade, exporting wine, cloth and coral, mainly to the Maghreb. But they also invested in the Levant trade. From documents which have become known recently it appears that in the fifteenth century there were in Genoa Jews who took part in the maritime trade and that Jews travelled on Genoese ships. However, in the later Middle Ages the Sicilian Jews were apparently the most active in the sea trade. They traded with all Mediterranean countries. The Jews of Apulia and the Marches had close commercial connections with other regions of the Adriatic. It does seem that altogether the Jewish sea trade in the Western and central Mediterranean declined at the end of the Middle Ages. On the other hand, the Jews who lived in the Genoese and Venetian dominions in the eastern Mediterranean took a lively part in the sea trade. Jews living in Syria and in Egypt had transactions with the Italian merchants.
