Abstract:
Discusses the section in Ferraris' eight-volume "Bibliotheca canonica juridico-moralis theologica" (1756) which deals with Jews. It includes papal letters, conciliar decrees, canons, legal opinions, and decisions from cases tried by the Rota. After a thorough discussion of types of behavior for which Jews have been and may be legitimately expelled, Ferraris does an apparent about face - he does not call for expulsion but offers a list of regulations and restrictions to govern Jewish life in the Papal States. Ferraris' ambivalent attitude reflected the state of the Papacy in the 17th-18th centuries, unsure whether it headed a religious or secular entity, and its attitude towards the Jews living under its jurisdiction.
