It is commonly held that medieval Christians viewed medieval Jews
in exclusively negative terms. This is certainly the dominant
opinion in much twentieth-century scholarship, and it is not wholly
without justification. It is, however, an opinion that does not
accurately reflect the breadth of medieval German Christian
thinking about medieval German Jews. Drawing on Passion plays,
hagiographical narratives and didactic literature, this monograph
reveals a hitherto largely unacknowledged diversity in medieval
German representations of Jews. In many of the best-attested texts
from the late medieval and early modern periods, Jews appear in
German literature as sympathetic, even morally exemplary figures.
