Book details
This book explores the creation, growth, and violent repercussions of one of the most powerful anti-Jewish stories of the Middle Ages-the story that accused Jews of desecrating the Eucharist, the manifestation of Christ`s body in the communion service. Beginning in Paris in 1290, the tale spread through Europe during the next two centuries, unleashing a frightening antisemitism and inspiring massacres and "cleansings.".
