Johannes Reuchlin and the Campaign to Destroy Jewish Books
Price, David H. (Professor of Religious Studies, History, Jewish Studies, and Medieval Studies, Professor of Religious Studies, History, Jewish Studies, and Medieval Studies, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL, United States)
Throughout early sixteenth century Germany, attempts were made to confiscate and destroy Jewish books, in order to end the practice of Judaism throughout the empire. An unlikely champion of Judaism emerged in Johannes Reuchlin, who wrote a passionate defense of Jewish writings and legal rights in 1510. David H. Price offers a compelling study of Reuchlin 's writings and their enduring impact on Jewish-Christian relations.
