Arnold Prize Essay, 1894. THE EXPULSION OF THE JEWS FROM ENGLAND IN 1290 BY B. L. ABRAHAMS _Formerly Scholar of Balliol College._ Oxford B. H. BLACKWELL 50 AND 51, BROAD STREET London SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, HAMILTON, KENT & CO. M DCCC XCV LONDON: PRINTED BY WERTHEIMER, LEA & CO. CIRCUS PLACE, LONDON WALL. This Essay, to which the Arnold Prize in the University of Oxford was awarded in 1894, has appeared in the _Jewish Quarterly Review_ for October, 1894, and January and April, 1895. I am indebted to the Editors of the _Review_ for permission to republish it. I wish to express my obligations to _Bibliotheca Anglo-Judaica: a Bibliographical Guide to Anglo-Jewish History_, compiled by Messrs. JOSEPH JACOBS and LUCIEN WOLF, and to _The Jews of Angevin England_, by Mr. JOSEPH JACOBS. Nearly all the passages bearing on Anglo-Jewish history, down to 1206, are contained in the latter book, and many of the references in the earlier part of my essay might have been made to its pages. I thought it better, however, to refer direct to the original authorities, and have, as a rule, mentioned Mr. Jacobs’ book only when using passages in it which have been nowhere else printed. Some articles which I have contributed to Mr. R. H. I. PALGRAVE’S _Dictionary of Political Economy_, to the First Volume of the _Transactions of the Jewish Historical Society of England_, and to the _Jewish Chronicle_ for April 26th, 1895, contain information bearing on the subject of this Essay. THE EXPULSION OF THE JEWS FROM ENGLAND IN 1290.
