| Zusammenfassung: | "In the past, scholars have discussed charges of ritual murder and host desecration levelled against European Jews - from the Middle Ages to the present day - but have not sufficiently studied the common anti-Jewish charge that Jews habitually and compulsively violated Christian images. Christian Images and Their Jewish Desecrators addresses this gap, laying bare the longevity of the charge that Jews committed violence against images of Christ, Mary, and the disciples. By examining how desecration allegations affected Jewish individuals and communities through an investigation spanning Byzantium, Medieval England, France, Germany, and early modern Spain and Italy, historian Katherine Aron-Beller ultimately demonstrates that this charge must be read alongside more well-known anti-Jewish allegations. The book investigates persisting tales, myths and fantasies about Jewish desecration of Christian images, presenting moralist tales, art and iconography, and records from legal proceedings to reveal how these stories reinforced the allegation. Aron-Beller uses these sources to understand why this charge held longstanding popularity in the Christian imagination and to consider Jewish attitudes toward Christian imagery and responses to allegations. Ultimately, this investigation reveals how anti-Jewish tropes of image desecration was understood alongside allegations of ritual murder and host desecration in European history"-- In Christian Images and Their Jewish Desecrators, historian Katherine Aron-Beller analyzes the common Christian charge that Jews habitually and compulsively violated Christian images, identifying this allegation as one that functioned alongside other anti-Jewish allegations such as ritual murder, blood libel, and host desecration to ultimately inform dangerous and long-lasting prejudices in medieval and early modern Europe. Through an analysis of folk tales, myths, legal proceedings, and religious art, Aron-Beller finds that narratives alleging that Jews committed violence against images of Christ, Mary, and the disciples flourished in Europe between the fifth and seventeenth centuries. She then explores how these narratives manifested differently across the continent and the centuries, finding that their potency reflected not Jewish actions per se, but Christians own concerns about slipping into idolatry when viewing depictions of religious figures. In addition, Aron-Beller considers Jews own attitudes toward Christian imagery and the ways in which they responded to and rejected-or embraced-such allegations. By examining how desecration allegations affected Jewish individuals and communities spanning Byzantium, medieval England, France, Germany, and early modern Spain and Italy, Aron-Beller demonstrates that this charge was a powerful expression of the Christian majority s anxiety around committing idolatry and their eagerness to participate in practices of veneration that revolved around visual images-an anxiety that evolved through the centuries and persists to this day |

By examining how desecration allegations affected Jewish individuals and communities spanning Byzantium, medieval England, France, Germany, and early modern Spain and Italy, Aron-Beller demonstrates that this charge was a powerful expression of the Christian majority s anxiety around committing idolatry and their eagerness to participate in practices of veneration that revolved around visual images-an anxiety that evolved through the centuries and persists to this day Geschichte 400-1700 gnd rswk-swf Antisemitismus (DE-588)4002333-3 gnd rswk-swf Judentum (DE-588)4114087-4 gnd rswk-swf Ikonoklasmus (DE-588)7682171-7 gnd rswk-swf Christentum (DE-588)4010074-1 gnd rswk-swf Ritual (DE-588)4050164-4 gnd rswk-swf Idololatrie (DE-588)4161232-2 gnd rswk-swf Kunst (DE-588)4114333-4 gnd rswk-swf Profanation (DE-588)4651914-2 gnd rswk-swf Ikonographie (DE-588)4026535-3 gnd rswk-swf Judentum (DE-588)4114087-4 s Christentum (DE-588)4010074-1 s Antisemitismus (DE-588)4002333-3 s Ikonoklasmus (DE-588)7682171-7 s Idololatrie (DE-588)4161232-2 s Ikonographie (DE-588)4026535-3 s Kunst (DE-588)4114333-4 s Ritual (DE-588)4050164-4 s Profanation (DE-588)4651914-2 s Geschichte 400-1700 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-5128-2411-7 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034877230&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
