Hyam Maccoby's now classic study focuses on the major JewishChristian disputations of medieval Europe: those of Paris (1240), Barcelona (1263), and Tortosa (141314). It examines the content of these theological confrontations with a sense of presentday relevance, while also discussing the use made of scriptural prooftexts. Part I provides a general thematic consideration of the three disputations and their social and historical background. Part II is a complete translation of the account of the Barcelona Disputation written by Nahmanides, one of the greatest figures in the history of Jewish learning, and was Jewish spokesman at the disputation. Part III contains Jewish and Christian accounts of the Paris and Tortosa disputations. A new introduction reviews the relevant literature that has been published since the original edition appeared.
