The Talmud Unmasked is a book written in 1892 by I. B. Pranaitis
(1861-1917). The book, generally regarded as antisemitic, is a
collection of quotes from the Talmud and Zohar which purports to
demonstrate that Judaism despises non-Jews and promotes the murder
of non-Jews. While most of the quotes are accurate, some are
fabricated, and others are taken out of context. Pranaitis could
not read Aramaic or Hebrew (the languages of the Talmud), and
probably used works by August Rohling and others as his sources.
Various elements tend to prove that the author, whose incompetence
was established unambiguously at the time of the Beilis trial,
ignores the rabbinical literature which he intends to describe,
unlike other Christian polemists from which he largely borrows.
Pranaitis was not able to read Aramaic, the primary language of the
Talmud, and so he relied primarily on the works of Jakob Ecker and
August Rohling.
Originally published in 1892, this early work on the Talmud is both
expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It details the
theology and history of the book and is a fascinating work
recommended for anyone interested in the history of Judaism. Many
of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s
and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork.
2010 reprint of 1939 edition. The Reverend Justinas Pranaitis
(1861-1917) was a Lithuanian Catholic priest, Russian Master of
Theology and Professor of the Hebrew Language at the Imperial
Ecclesiastical Academy of the Roman Catholic Church in Saint
Petersburg, Russia. He published The Talmud Unmasked as an
anti-Semitic tract called Christianus in Talmude Iudaeorum in Latin
in 1892 under the imprimatur of the Archbishop Metropolitan of
Mogilev. This tract was subsequently translated into Polish (1892),
French (1892), German (1894), Russian (1911), Lithuanian (1912),
Italian (1939), English (1939) and Spanish. In 1912, Pranaitis was
called to testify as an expert witness in Jewish hatred of
Christians in the famous case of Menahem Mendel Beilis. During the
course of that trial his credibility rapidly evaporated, however,
when the defense demonstrated his ignorance of some simple Talmudic
concepts and definitions, such as hullin, to the point where many
in the audience occasionally laughed out loud when he clearly
became confused and couldn't even intelligibly answer some of the
questions asked by my lawyer. According to accounts of the trial,
"cross-examination of Pranaitis has weakened evidentiary value of
his expert opinion, exposing lack of knowledge of texts,
insufficient knowledge of Jewish literature. Because of amateurish
knowledge and lack of resourcefulness, Pranaitis' expert opinion is
of very low value." The significance of The Talmud Unmasked is as
an influential anti-Semitic tract written from a Catholic
perspective.

The Talmud Unmasked provides a capsule of the Talmudic beliefs of
the Jews. It should be required reading for every Christian.
Together with the Protocols Of Zion and Henry Ford's Books on the
International Jew, it puts a new perspective on current world
events. This book reveals just a small amount of what is actually
in the Talmud and should be required reading for every non-Jew if
they want to begin to understand what Jews really believe and
practice. The significance of The Talmud Unmasked is as an
influential anti-Semitic tract written from a Catholic perspective.
