To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
201 It must have been sad experience only that made the spiritual leaders of Jewry view the non-Jew in such a light. Thus it is only natural that the Jews disliked having non-Jews as their nearest neighbours, for fear of violence. Jews preferred to live by themselves in special quarters. This tendency helped to erect the Ghetti which later on, in the times of persecutions, were made obligatory on the Jews. The Talmudic law was that if a Jew sold his field or house to a non-Jew, his Jewish neigh...bours could force this Jew to undertake the responsibility for any harm their new non-Jewish neighbour might do them. This law we find in full practice in the Gaonic period as several responsa show (cp. ?"&, 33 a, Nos. 21 and 22 (cp. O W 3, No. 142), probably by Sherira; "lEJ, No. 19, by R. Semah to Kairowan; E>"iD3, No. 158, anonymous: a whole quarter inhabited by Jews). Yet some responsa tell us of Jews living promiscuously with non-Jews and knowing the affairs of each other (see "i3, No. 95).
