Description
The Devil and the Jews: The Medieval Conception of the Jew and Its Relation to Modern Antisemitism This book explores the medieval conception of the Jew as devil, sorcerer, and ritual murderer. Through documents, analysis, and illustrations, it reveals how these myths originated in Christian Europe in the late Middle Ages and have persisted into modern times. The author examines the full spectrum of Jewish demonization, tracing its evolution over centuries. By understanding this complex history, readers can gain insight into the ongoing impact of antisemitism on society today. A valuable work of scholarship for anyone interested in the roots of prejudice and intolerance.
