Marks of Distinction: Christian Perceptions of Jews in the High Middle Ages
Irven M. Resnick
Presents a captivating study of long-held medieval scientific theories that predisposed Jews to certain types of offensive behaviour or even to communicate certain illnesses and disease. By arguing for a Jewish ‘nature’ dictated by specific physical characteristics, medieval scientific authorities contributed to growing fears of a Jewish threat.
