By the early thirteenth century, European Jewish life was firmly
rooted in the directives and doctrines of the Babylonian Talmud. In
1236, however, an apostate named Nicholas Donin appeared at the
court of Pope Gregory IX, claiming that the Talmud was harmful and
thus intolerable in a Christian society. Pope Gregory sent Donin
off throughout Europe in 1239 with a message to secular authorities
and leading clergy: Donin's allegations were to be carefully
investigated, and - if substantiated - the Talmud was to be
destroyed. Only one European ruler acted on the papal injunction,
the pious King Louis IX of France, who convened a trial of the
Talmud in Paris. This unprecedented event is richly reflected in a
variety of sources, both Christian and Jewish, here brought
together in English translation for the first time.
