Pilgrimage and Pogrom: Violence, Memory, and Visual Culture at the Host-Miracle Shrines of Germany and Austria
Mitchell B. Merback
In the late Middle Ages, Europe saw the rise of one of its most virulent myths: that Jews abused the eucharistic bread as a form of anti-Christian blasphemy, causing it to bleed miraculously. Valiantly reconstructing the cult environments created for these sacred places, this title offers a look at Christian-Jewish relations in premodern Europe.
