Editing Narbonne (section)

===Under the Capets===
In the 11th and 12th centuries, Narbonne was home to an important [[Judaism|Jewish]] [[exegesis|exegetical]] school, which played a pivotal role in the growth and development of the [[Zarphatic]] (Judæo-French) and [[Shuadit]] (Judæo-Provençal) languages. Jews had settled in Narbonne from about the 5th century, with a community that numbered about 2,000 people in the 12th century. At this time, Narbonne was frequently mentioned in [[Talmud]]ic works in connection with its scholars. One source, [[Abraham ibn Daud]] of Toledo, gives them an importance similar to the exilarchs of Babylon.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NARBONNE - JewishEncyclopedia.com |url=https://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/11323-narbonne |access-date=2023-01-06 |website=[[The Jewish Encyclopedia]]}}</ref> In the 12th and 13th centuries, the community went through a series of ups and downs before settling into extended decline.
