Abstract:
Analyzes official attitudes towards the Jews in 13th century Languedoc. Local Church councils restated prohibitions on the appearance of Jews in public during Holy Week, on sharing meals, houses and public baths with Christians, and on holding positions of power over Christians. Usury was regulated, and the Narbonne Council of 1227 introduced the yellow badge for the first time. The Languedoc Inquisition was engaged in fighting the Albigensian heresy and inquired only casually into charges of Judaizing and talmudic "blasphemies" (as shown in Bernard Gui's "Practica Inquisitionis", 1320). Local ecclesiastical rulers disputed with the king for jurisdiction over Jews for the sake of taxes. The educated classes were torn between attraction towards aspects of Jewish life and anti-Jewish violence (e.g. in Llull's polemics and in popular religious plays).
