Abstract:
Argues that the image of the Jew in this compilation of Middle English vernacular literature is neither the scriptural (good) Jew nor the demonic usurer. The Jew is multi-faceted, although several of the works express anti-Judaism.This ca. 700 page manuscript written approximately in 1400,is now in the Bodleian Library. It includes 370 poetry and prose texts on moral or religious subjects intended to be read by the pious.
