Abstract:
Describes the polemical work written ca. 1464 by Alonso de Espina, Franciscan monk, head of the Studium Theologicum in Salamanca, and itinerant preacher. The "Fortalitium fidei" is comprised of five books; the first praises the Catholic faith, and the other four attack its enemies - heretics, Jews, Saracens, and demons. Each book presents the enemies' arguments against Christianity and Christian responses, and a section relating the iniquitous acts of the enemy. In the case of the Jews, he enumerates 17 types of acts. Nos. 2, 3, and 4 give examples of alleged ritual acts by Jews which occurred in France (murder of Christians in caves or underground cells, false accusation against a Christian by a Jewish court and his execution by hanging, and the use of a human heart for purposes of magic) and which were punished by expulsion or murder of Jews in the specific area. Alonso presents these sins of the Jews as the possible cause of the expulsion from France in 1306, and recommends expulsion and murder as proper punishment for Spain's Jews as well.
