Reviews

This meticulously researched and unusually perceptive book is social and intellectual history at its best. In tracing the fortunes of the ritual murder charge against Jews in 15th- and 16th-century Germany, it reveals not only fresh insights about the dynamics of the ritual murder charge, but also the social strains and cultural workings of pre-Reformation Germany. Hsia argues persuasively that the ritual murder charge expressed the deepest fears of a population that took the power of both Jewish magic and Christian blood for granted. In so doing, the ritual murder proceedings assumed a salvic role in a Christian redemptive drama. For students of Jewish history, religious culture, and the Middle Ages.
