Mapping Jewish Communities of the Byzantine Empire

The aim of the project was to map the Jewish presence in the Byzantine empire using GIS (Geographical Information Systems). All references (published and unpublished) to Jewish communities in the Byzantine Empire were gathered and collated. The data were incorporated in a GIS which will be made freely available to the general public using web maps at www.byzantinejewry.net.
