Description: This unique and encyclopedic collection of more than one thousand pictures, some in color, is of the utmost importance for understanding Christian attitudes to Jews over the past two thousand years. In particular from the time of Charlemagne onwards, Christian polemic against the Jews was reinforced by a wealth of imagery, in the statues and stained-glass windows of churches and cathedrals, which made a powerful impact even on the illiterate. With an extended introduction and detailed commentary and bibliography, The Jews in Christian Art is one of the first books to consider art as a serious source of historical knowledge about the Jews and the ideological constructs developed around them by Christian thinkers and artists.
