ANCIENT AND MEIEVAL AUTHORS…contd…

PETER  ALPHONSI, 1062-1110…In his “ Dialogue” he alleged that the Jews had misunderstood their prophets and neither had they obeyed the law. Their talmud and midrashim contain fables which they regard as literal truth.

PETER OF CLUNY, 1122- 1156…In his “Treatise against the Chronic Obstinacy of the Jews”  he attacked as fables the writings in the Talmud. He argued that the Jews were inspired by Satan, and that they should be made to finance the first Crusade.

THOMAS AQUINAS, 1125-1174…He maintained that the Jews should suffer in perpetual servitude. They should be protected as witnesses to the truth of Christianity, although they are heretics. Their possessions should be treated as belonging to the state.

PETER OF BLOIS, circa. 1200..He asserted that the Jewish concept of the Messiah was, in fact the Antichrist.

RAMON  LULL, 1234-1304…He urged that Jews should be compelled to hear Christian sermons. He accused the Jews of blaspheming Jesus and His mother Mary, and that if they did not convert they should be expelled from Christian lands because their devilish presence was a threat to the faithful.

NICHOLAS  DONIN, circa. 1240…In his “Disputation “ with rabbi Yehiel Ben Joseph he showed that the Talmud and other writings were the source of a new religion, and that it was divorced from the Old Testament . The Jews were no longer living witnesses to the truth of scripture because they had turned aside to the heresies found in the Talmud . This was said to contain lies about Jesus , the virgin Mary and the pope, and it even sanctioned the killing of Christians.

RAYMOND  MARTINI,circa, 1278…In his “Dagger of Faith” he contended that the Jews had been rejected by God because of their sin at Sinai during the worship of te golden calf. He argued that they believe in two Messiahs, but remain in ignorance of God . He saw no possibility of a restoration to their homeland, although a remnant will be saved.

ABNER OF BURGOS, 1270- 1348… In his “Wars of God” he accused the Jews of reciting prayers against Christians during their synagogue worship.

GERONIMO DE SANTA FE, circa. 1414… He wrote two treatises ,:-“To prove the Perfidy .

of the Jews,” and “Concerning Jewish Errors drawn from the Talmud, “ all with the intention of pointing up the lies and fables in the Talmud. These he said contradicted the law of God and the laws of nature.

PAUL OF BURGOS, ( otherwise known as PABLO DE SANTA MARIA.), .1434…In his “Scrutinium Scripturarum”  he accused the Jews of spiritual blindness regarding their own sins and heresies, which will cause their long dispersion.

ALPHONSO DE SPINA, 1459…His book, “The Fortress of Faith” probably mooted the concept of the Inquisition. He accused the Jews of spiritual blindness, ritual murder, well poisoning  and other crimes against Christians. Their treatment of Jesus will ensure their eternal damnation
