Christian-Jewish Relations: A New Era in Germany As a Result of the First Crusade

Rabbi Sol Landau. Christian-Jewish Relations: A New Era in Germany As a Result of the First Crusade. New York: Pageant Press, Inc., 1959. First edition. Octavo. 78pp. Original decorative wrappers over grey cloth with red lettering on spine. Remarkable work shedding light on an obscure period of world history. The history of the Jews and the crusades became a part of the history of anti-Semitism for the Jews in the Middle Ages. The call for the First Crusade touched off new persecutions of the Jews that would continue on and off for centuries. In the First Crusade, flourishing communities on the Rhine and the Danube were attacked by Crusaders, yet many were spared due to the efforts of the Papacy. Wrappers, binding and interior in overall very good condition. vg. Hardcover. (31276) $40
