Abstract:
Presents and discusses a catalog of 26 Christian anti-Jewish polemical treatises which were found among manuscripts from the University of Kraków, now in the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków. Such treatises were used in theological polemics against Judaism or as instruments of Christian missionary activity among the Jews in Kraków in the 15th-early 16th centuries. Discusses the time and origin of several of the manuscripts, their owners and users, and when they reached the university library. Describes all the texts discovered, noting that among them are some popular ones copied widely in medieval Europe (e.g. "Scrutinum Scriptuarum" by Paulus of Burgos, a Jewish convert to Catholicism), as well as unique pieces known only from the Jagiellonian Library. States that none of these treatises was written by theologians from Kraków. The Appendix (pp. 130-159) contains the catalog of the texts.
