""The Jews of Asia: Especially in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries"" is a historical book written by Sidney Mendelssohn and published in 1920. The book provides a comprehensive account of the Jewish communities in Asia during the 16th and 17th centuries, with a particular focus on their social, cultural, and economic lives. Mendelssohn examines the historical context of the Jewish diaspora in Asia, including their migration from Europe to Asia, and their interactions with the local communities. He also delves into the religious and cultural practices of the Jews in Asia, including their relationship with the Ottoman Empire, their use of the Hebrew language, and their artistic and literary contributions.
