Professor Miri Rubin will discuss a manuscript copied c.1200 – the sole source for the fateful and still intriguing events that led to the invention of the child murder accusation against Jews. It evokes twelfth-century religious culture, attempting to create a new narrative, one which turned Jewish neighbours into dangerous predators.
