Los judíos en las rutas de la seda

During the optimal climate, in the 12th century, the Sephardic Benjamin would leave his native Tudela to explore the trade and pilgrimage routes from the coasts of India to China, in search of the Jewish communities of his time and which he would collect in his Book travel. For Jules Verne, he was the best geographer of the Middle Ages. During his long journey, he would discover the fundamental role of Jewish merchants in the silk, perfume and incense routes and the pilgrimage itineraries to Santiago de Compostela, Rome and Jerusalem. The Jews on the Silk Roads are based on exhaustive research to trace a fascinating journey by sea and land between the Jewish, Christian, Arab, Persian and Hindu worlds, rescuing the adventure carried out by Benjamín de Tudela and discovering what has been of these communities to the present day.
