Abstract:
The struggle against iconoclasts in the Eastern Church and Byzantium during the 7th-8th centuries found expression also in many anti-Jewish texts which appeared at that time in the eastern Mediterranean. In those texts (e.g. “Trofei di Damasco”, “Doctrina Jacobi nuper baptizati”, "Dialogo di Papisco e Filone”) the Jews were identified as the paradigm of iconoclasm, and were held responsible for the attacks on sacred Christian images. At the same time, Christian iconoclasts were stigmatized as infidels, as part of the Jewish conspiracy to destroy the cult of the Cross, or as having been influenced by Islam. Concludes that the identification of Jews with iconoclasm is evident in the acts of the Council of Nice (787) in which Christian iconoclasts were defined as impious Jews.
