Typical of the spiritual climate of Italy in his day, bibliographer G.B. de Rossi was especially fascinated by Jewish anti-Christian polemic. This interest would eventually lead to publication of his Bibliotheca Judaica Antichristiana (Parma, 1800).
In the present work, de Rossi musters his knowledge of Rabbinic literature to impugn Jewish messianic belief and to assail Judaism for its rejection of Jesus. See JE, Vol. X, p.486
