Additional Details

Later edition of Epistola contra Judaeorum errores, a widely disseminated anti-Judaic tract supposedly written in Arabic by a Moroccan apostate Jew at the beginning of the 11th century and translated into Latin by the Spanish Dominican Alphonsus Bonihominis in the 14th century, but now considered more likely to have been composed by the latter. The first printed edition appeared in 1474. BMC I, 279; Goff S110; EJ II, 607.
