Additional Details



Bound volume containing two different German versions 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 thought to have been more likely composed by the latter. EJ II, 607.
