On the occasion of the reopening of the said Jewish monument " Sublime House " of Rouen, the most old(former) Jewish monument of France, the museum of Antiques(Antiquities) suggests devoting an exhibition(exposure) exclusively dedicated to intellectual life and to material culture medieval Jews, in northern Europe mainly. The Jewish monument of Rouen is an extremely rare vestige of medieval and European Jewish past. One still widely unaware of the importance of Jewish presence in Normandy, and in particular in Rouen. The exhibition(exposure) of Rouen will be the first one(night) in France devoted to medieval Judaism. She will underline the contribution of Jewish presence to the economic, cultural and spiritual development of Rouen in medieval Europe. The exhibition(exposure) of the museum of Antiques(Antiquities) will show and to include the cultural, artistic and sometimes fruitful exchanges, often placed under the sign of the incomprehension and of the debate, between the Jewish and Christian communities, relations which were weaved in a narrow way between Normandy and England, and it in spite of persecutions and of historic vicissitudes. Indeed, from the end of the XIth century, the call(appeal) to crusade in Holy Land provoked many anti-Jewish violence, in particular in the Rhine Valley. From 1140s, in Norwich, the Jews were accused of ritual murder. In 1182, Philippe Augustus decided on the expulsion of the Jews of the French royal domain, into which Normandy was soon included, then called(reminded) them back in 1198, nevertheless with a status limiting their freedom. The IVth council of Latran (1215) imposed on the Jews the obligation(bond) of the port(bearing) of a distinctive sign and restrained their access to the public loads(responsibilities). The Jews were again evicted(deported), in England by the king Edward Ier (1290) then in France by Philip the Fair (1306). While the Black plague clamped down in Europe (1347-1352), the Jews were accused of having spread the epidemic, and at the end of the XIVth century, they were again evicted(deported) from France and from Empire. In France, no exhibition(exposure) was devoted specifically to medieval Judaism. Curiosity and dispersal of the stories of material culture and of intellectual life of the medieval Jews imply(involve) that it is complex to organise an event(demonstration) dedicated on this matter. In a totally unpublished way, the museum of Antiques(Antiquities) will gather(combine), in response to the renovation work of the Jewish monument of Rouen, a selection of key works, with manuscripts, precious works of art and archaeological stories.
