| Resum: |
The Postilla literalis super totam Bibliam, written by Nicholas of Lyra (France, 1270- 1349) is remarkable for the extensive use of texts and oral traditions of Jewish origin made by its author. This paper deals with the place of the Talmud among the Jewish sources cited in the Postilla. For Nicholas the Talmud was a new doctrine invented by the Jews sometime in their past but believed to be divine and to be given to Moses in Sinai. When reading Nicholas' Postilla, one finds many citations from medieval Jewish sources, but very few excerpts from the Talmud except as polemic with the purpose of ridiculing and disproving them. It appears that Nicholas avoided direct Talmudic citations within the Postilla, likely due to the hostile attitudes prevalent specifically toward the Talmud within the Christian world he inhabited. |
