Description
168 p. : ill.; 22 cm.
Summary
Examines the Christian origins of the racist view of the Jews as it developed in the 12th-17th centuries - in writings (e.g. by Peter the Venerable, Raymond Martini, Gavilon Vela, Juan de Quinones de Benavento) and in regulations (e.g. "purity of blood" statutes and the Inquisition), all of which led to forced conversions, expulsions, and the deaths of thousands of Jews. Focuses on events and antisemitic stereotypes in medieval and early modern Spain and Germany. Discusses, also, the origins in Christian literature and art of the stereotype of the Jews as children of the Devil or as swine (the "Judensau"). Pp. 113-146 contain drawings and caricatures of these two themes, mainly from Germany. Shows how all the above influenced the racist antisemitism of the 19th-20th centuries.
