Ebrei d'Europa e omicidi rituali
[/center]


[justify]Accolto al suo primo apparire da vivaci discussioni e aspre polemiche, questo libro è qui riproposto in una nuova edizione che l'autore ha arricchito con un attento lavoro di chiarimento e approfondimento e con una stringente difesa dei metodi e dei risultati della propria ricerca. Oggetto dell'indagine è il mondo dell'ebraismo ashkenazita medievale, nel quale credenze popolari imbevute di superstizione e magia e di viscerali sentimenti anticristiani configurano una diffusa "cultura del sangue" contrastante con i precetti biblici e rabbinici. In questa cultura trova posto anche una ritualità religiosa stravolta, che porge suo malgrado argomenti alla calunnia dell'omicidio rituale, la terribile "accusa del sangue" origine di tante persecuzioni antiebraiche. E proprio nelle confessioni estorte nei processi per omicidio rituale (come quello famoso celebrato a Trento per la morte del piccolo Simonino) questa cultura viene in qualche modo alla luce. Scavando attorno allo "stereotipo calunnioso" dell'omicidio rituale Toaff fa così emergere una diversa immagine, per molti aspetti inedita, di quelle comunità e fornisce un contributo innovativo alla conoscenza dell'ebraismo europeo.[/justify]

EUROPEAN JEWS AND RITUAL MURDER

[small]Ariel Toaff - Blood Passover.pdf (815.32 KB)[/small]

[justify]This book courageously faces one of the most controversial topics in the history of the Jews of Europe, one which has always served as a war-horse of anti-Semitism: the accusation, leveled against the Jews for centuries, of abducting and killing Christian children to use their blood in Jewish Passover rites. Where Italy is concerned, nearly all the ritual murder trials were held in the north-eastern regions, characterized by large settlements of German-origin Jews (Ashkenazim).
The most famous case of this kind occurred in Trent, Italy, in 1475, as a result of which many local Jews were indicted and sentenced to death for the murder of the boy who was to become known as ?Simon of Trent?, and was venerated as a Saint for several centuries, until only a few decades ago. An unprejudiced rereading of the original trial records, however, together with the records of several other trials, viewed within the overall European context and supplemented by an exact knowledge of the relevant Hebrew texts, throws new light on the ritual and therapeutic significance of blood in Jewish culture, leading the author of the present study to the reluctant conclusion that, particularly where Ashkenazi Jewry was concerned, the "Blood Libel" accusation was not always an invention.

La traduction suivante a été réalisée gratuitement pour protester contre une injustice : la destruction par l'ADL du livre Blood Passover (Pâques de sang) d'Ariel Toaff sur le meurtre rituel juif. L'auteur est le fils du Grand Rabbin de Rome et professeur de la Renaissance juive et d'histoire médiévale à l'Université Bar-Ilan en Israël, près de Tel Aviv.

M. Toaff est particulièrement qualifié pour écrire ce livre, car il connaît parfaitement la littérature qui en découle en anglais, français, allemand et italien, ainsi que les sources documentaires originales en latin, italien médiéval, hébreu et yiddish. Ce n'est pas quelque chose sur quoi il a travaillé en secret. Au contraire, il y a travaillé ouvertement avec ses étudiants de l’université et ses collègues en Israël pendant plusieurs années ; un de ses étudiants allait même publier un article sur le sujet. L'auteur est extrêmement attentif à ce qu'il dit et ses conclusions doivent être prises au sérieux. Ce livre se lit comme une intrigue policière.

S’il avait été publié en Israël, en hébreu, personne ne s'en serait soucié. On trouve un grand nombre de textes littéraires en hébreu que les juifs ne veulent pas que les Gentils connaissent. Mais l'annonce par le Dr Toaff de la publication de son livre en Italie, en italien, a soulevé une tempête de colère dans le monde entier. Sous une pression insupportable, le livre a dû être retiré de la publication.
