En 1394, le roi de France Charles VI décide d'expulser de son royaume les juifs qui y demeurent encore. La grande expulsion avait été celle de Philippe le Bel, en 1306. Au rythme des réadmissions et des exils, les communautés juives de France ne connaissent plus au XIVe siècle la vie religieuse et intellectuelle intense qui avait été la leur jusqu'au XIIIe siècle - du moins dans le nord, puisque dans le midi, malgré toutes les difficultés, la vie continue. Mais le XIVe siècle est le siècle de tous les dangers pour les juifs : accusations d'empoisonnement de puits, de collusion avec les lépreux, de propagation de la peste lors de la grande épidémie de 1348. Les différentes contributions de ce volume donnent une description des communautés pendant ce siècle noir et s'efforcent de comprendre les raisons de cette expulsion (motifs économiques, idéologiques, politiques ?), puis retracent les chemins de ce douloureux exil. Il constitue le seul travail d'ensemble consacré à cet événement, capital pour les communautés juives de France mais également révélateur des tensions dans le royaume de France.

In 1394, Charles VI, King of France, decided to exile the remaining Jews in his kingdom. A massive expulsion had previously taken place under Philippe le Bel, in 1306. By the 14th century, because of the many re-entries and exiles, France's Jewish communities no longer practised the intensely religious and intellectual life they had enjoyed up to the 13th century - not in the North at any rate. In the south, in spite of all the difficulties, life went on. But the 14th century was the most dangerous for the Jews: there were accusations of poisoning wells, of collusion with the lepers, and, during the great epidemic of 1348, of propagating the plague. The different contributions to this book give a description of the various communities during that dark century, try to explain the reasons for this expulsion (economic, ideological or political motives?), then retrace the paths of the painful exile. This is the only collective work devoted to this event: vital for the French Jewish communities, but also an indicator of the tensions that existed in the Kingdom of France.
