Summary
A critical edition of the Latin anti-Jewish work by Peter the Venerable, abbot of Cluny (1122-1156). In the English introduction (lxxv pp.), Friedman mentions that Peter was the first Christian born within the Christian faith to try to refute the Talmud. He hoped to convert dissenters and prevent the confusion among Christians. He described the Jews as inhuman, monstrous, and satanic. Describes the four extant mss. and analyzes Peter's sources (Christian and Jewish) and style, and the date and structure of the work. Concludes that the main body of the work "Contra Judeos" was most probably written in 1144, on the eve of the Second Crusade.
