summary

On pp. 95-96, the Author quotes the Jerusalem Talmud and its views concerning Jewish attitudes toward Christian belief and its efficacy in regard to medical health. The Spanish Catholic theologians were fond of quoting this passage from Talmud Yerushalmi to point out how Jews blaspheme. The passage from the Yerushalmi is quoted in Tosafot, Avodah Zarah 27b, (s.v. shanei minuth de-mashcha.).

ff. (16), 1-224, 285-396. Browned. Contemporary limp vellum, gutter split. 8vo.
