Kurzfassung:
Examines the portrayal of Jews in medieval Danish texts written before 1515. The perception of Jews was fundamentally shaped by the idea that they had tortured and killed the Christian messiah. Discusses devotional texts, sermons, and passion stories which describe the Jews as Christ-killers. Other Jewish types found in this literature are effeminate, Satanic, and usurious Jews, as well as comparisons of Jews with animals. Certain negative words were used more frequently in descriptions of Jews than of non-Jews, which suggests a powerful association between such words and the perception of Jews.
