Abstract:
Maier published his book Jesus von Nazareth in der talmudischen Über-lieferung in 1978. Peter Schäfer framed his study Jesus in the Talmud of2007 as an argument against Maier. While Maier tried to show that therabbis of the Babylonian Talmud did not speak about Jesus, or more pre-cisely Jesus the Nazarene, Schäfer tried to prove the opposite. According toboth, textual variants in manuscripts of the Babylonian Talmud validatedtheir respective findings. In the meantime, no further manuscripts of theBabylonian Talmud dating from before the 12th century have been found.However, well-known Hebrew sources and recently edited Latin translationsof Talmudic passages, written before, during and after the Disputation ofParis in 1240 and thus before Church censorship began after 1263, enableus to re-evaluate Schäfer’s conclusions. The article traces the “Jesus texts”cited during the disputation through the relevant sources and then evaluatesSchäfer’s argument based on the results.
