mcqueen's question about medieval is very important and interesting.
there are serious reasons to claim that for eastern european jewish
culture, the medieval formation lasted until the eighteenth century!
there is no *significant* cultural difference between a prague rabi of
the sixteenth and of the fourteenth century. this is not true for italy,
where the modern period hit the jews about the same time as the
non-jews. by the way, who says that for darkest poland there was a
rennaissance anyway?

Michael Speerberg McQueen raises the question on wether 16th century can
be considered 'Medieval'. It is quite common in Lutheran countries to
set the end of medievial times at the Reformation e.g. 1536 in Denmark.
So you will have a tiny portion of the "Dark Ages" in the 16th century.
