Abstract:
Examines he ways in which the Christian bestiarists expressed negative attitudes toward Jews. Describes the means by which Jews are evoked in the bestiaries, and how these characterizations fit into the wider arena of contemporary anti-Jewish polemics. Argues that the bestiaries, as well as the early Christian text of the "Physiologus" on which they were based, should be ranked among the most widely-disseminated of Christian polemical texts directed against Jews.
