Daniel Schroeter The Sultan's Jew: Morocco and the Sephardi World. (Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture.) Stanford: Stanford University Press. 2002. Pp. xxii, 240. $55.00.

Daniel Schroeter builds upon a family archive held by Samuel Levy-Corcos of Paris, containing documents related to the life, economic activities, and property of his Moroccan forefather, Meir Macnin (d. 1835), and his descendants, to analyze the life of Moroccan Jews, mainly during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This detailed study is not limited to the Jewish community of Morocco: it examines Jewish-Muslim relations, international economic and political relations, and evolving relations among Moroccan and European Jews, in particular with the Sephardi diaspora. The life and activities of one person serve as a lens through which to examine a wide range of regional, international and inter-Jewish developments. 1
     The scant personal information about Macnin and the considerable economic information are augmented by rich and diversified data from state archives in France, Great Britain, Israel, Morocco, the Netherlands, and the United States, as well as numerous scholarly publications. . . .
