Title A name given to the resource Relatio de Simone Puero Tridentino (Bartholomaeus Guldinbeck, 1475) Subject The topic of the resource Tiberinus, Johannes Matthias (fl. 1475) Incunabula Simon, of Trent, -1475 Judaica Excerpts Description An account of the resource The story of Simon of Trent is among the most egregious examples of the “blood libel” against Jews. This accusation usually involves the sacrificial killing of children whose blood is then used in various rituals, among them the making of Passover matzoh. Simon of Trent (or Trento), 28 months old, disappeared on 23 March 1475; his body was found in a river several days later. Earlier in the Lenten season, the Franciscan friar Bernardinus of Feltre had delivered several inflammatory sermons denouncing the Jews of Trent and predicting the murder of a Christian child during Passover. The discovery of Simon’s body engendered widespread condemnation of the Jewish community and eventually led to the torture and execution of several of its members. Simon of Trent was canonized about a century later. After the second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the entire episode was declared a fraud; Simon’s name was removed from the calendar of saints’ days in 1965, the cult dedicated to him was dissolved, and further veneration of him was forbidden.

Title A name given to the resource Relatio de Simone puero Tridentino (Albrecht Kunne, 1476) Subject The topic of the resource Tiberinus, Johannes Matthias (fl. 1475) Incunabula Simon, of Trent, -1475 Judaica Excerpts Description An account of the resource The story of Simon of Trent is among the most egregious examples of the “blood libel” against Jews. This accusation usually involves the sacrificial killing of children whose blood is then used in various rituals, among them the making of Passover matzoh. Simon of Trent (or Trento), 28 months old, disappeared on 23 March 1475; his body was found in a river several days later. Earlier in the Lenten season, the Franciscan friar Bernardinus of Feltre had delivered several inflammatory sermons denouncing the Jews of Trent and predicting the murder of a Christian child during Passover. The discovery of Simon’s body engendered widespread condemnation of the Jewish community and eventually led to the torture and execution of several of its members. Simon of Trent was canonized about a century later. After the second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the entire episode was declared a fraud; Simon’s name was removed from the calendar of saints’ days in 1965, the cult dedicated to him was dissolved, and further veneration of him was forbidden.

Title A name given to the resource De Antiquitate Judaica; De Bello Judaico Subject The topic of the resource Josephus, Flavius Incunabula Judaica Excerpts Initials (layout features) Description An account of the resource Josephus, born in Jerusalem, had a multifaceted career as priest, soldier, and historian. His retelling of Jewish history and partially first-hand account of the rebellion against the Romans (66-70 CE), originally written in Aramaic (now lost) and Greek, appear here in Latin translation. Josephus served as military commander of the Jewish army in Galilee despite his reluctance to join in the revolt. After the destruction of the Temple in 70, Josephus, whose ties with Roman culture were paradoxically strong, took up residence in Rome and began his literary career. This copy has a particularly beautiful illuminated initial and is extensively rubricated. Abstract A summary of the resource.

Title A name given to the resource Oratio in Die Circumcisionis Anno 1484 Habita Subject The topic of the resource Carvajal, Bernardino de, 1456-1523 Incunabula Judaica Excerpts Circumcision Description An account of the resource This sermon on Christ’s circumcision, given before Pope Sixtus IV in 1484, explores the symbolic aspects of the ritual and compares it to Christ’s eventual suffering on the cross. Carvajal claims that the process of circumcision and its attendant blood loss and pain help demonstrate the humanity of Christ. The early Christian writers, in particular St. Augustine, interpreted Christ’s circumcision as the redemption of original sin -- thus likening it to baptism -- rather than as a sign of the covenant between Abraham and God. Because Christ was circumcised, it was not required of his followers; baptism would suffice. Abstract A summary of the resource.

The Jewish presence dwindled during and after the 16th century, when the rulers of the city built a ghetto to isolate and weaken the population. Rafael Mirami was a Jewish Ferrarese physician and mathematician with a special interest in mirrors, optics, and poetry: the text is sprinkled throughout with verses of Dante, Petrarch, and Horace intended to support Mirami’s arguments.

In 1849, when a religious furor arose over the use of obstetrical anesthesia, he was asked to interpret Genesis 3:16, which implies that childbirth must inevitably be accompanied by great pain. His reponse, published as a three-part article in a Canadian medical journal, was in favor of pain relief during childbirth. The Sanatory Institutions of the Hebrews relies on Biblical, Talmudic, and modern medical sources to justify the Jewish dietary and hygienic laws.
