| Abstract: |
The Christian discovery of the Babylonian Talmud is a significant landmark in the long and complex history of anti-Jewish polemic. In 1239 the pope wrote to kings and bishops across Europe requesting them to confiscate and examine the manuscripts of the Talmud in their territories. He was particularly concerned with the Talmud's status as an alia lex, which challenged the traditional account of the Jews as witnesses of the old law. As a result, a trial against the Talmud was staged in Paris in 1240 and Jewish books were put in flames at the Place de la Grève in 1241/42. In this historical and doctrinal context, the Summa Halensis is particularly important, for it offers one of the very few, if not the only attempt at a systematic reappraisal of the Augustinian doctrine in the light of the Christian discovery of the Talmud and its purported status as another law. |
