AUTHOR
SUMMARY
A definitive work of scholarship on the medieval conception of the Jew as devil-literally and figuratively. Through documents, analysis and illustrations, the book exposes the full spectrum of the Jew's demonisation as devil, sorcerer, blasphemer and ritual murderer; as a desecrator and heretic; as usurer and infidel. Trachtenberg reveals, in a chilling study difficult to put down, how these myths, peculiar to Christian Europe in the late Middle Ages, still exist in transmuted form in the modern era.Trachtenberg, Joshua is the author of 'Devil and the Jews The Medieval Concept of the Jew and Its Relation to Modern Antisemitism', published 2002 under ISBN 9780827602274 and ISBN 0827602278.
