In Popes and Jews, 1095-1291, Rebecca Rist explores the nature and
scope of the relationship of the medieval papacy to the Jewish
communities of western Europe. Rist analyses papal pronouncements
in the context of the substantial and on-going social, political,
and economic changes of the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth
centuries, as well the characters and preoccupations of individual
pontiffs and the development of Christian theology. She breaks new
ground in exploring the other side of the story - Jewish
perceptions of both individual popes and the papacy as an
institution - through analysis of a wide range of contemporary
Hebrew and Latin documents. The author engages with the works of
recent scholars in the field of Christian-Jewish relations to
examine the social and legal status of Jewish communities in light
of the papacy's authorisation of crusading, prohibitions against
money lending, and condemnation of the Talmud, as well as
increasing charges of ritual murder and host desecration, the
growth of both Christian and Jewish polemical literature, and the
advent of the Mendicant Orders. Popes and Jews, 1095-1291 is an
important addition to recent work on medieval Christian-Jewish
relations. Furthermore, its subject matter - religious and cultural
exchange between Jews and Christians during a period crucial for
our understanding of the growth of the Western world, the rise of
nation states, and the development of relations between East and
West - makes it extremely relevant to today's multi-cultural and
multi-faith society.
