Yes, Graham, there is an astonishingly strong anti-Semitic thread in the medieval blood cult, but as interesting as it is, I'm more interested in the images evoked by the Litany. Thank you, though! I appreciate you taking the time to share!

Dear Joel
I was in Lauda in Franconia a few weeks ago. An altarpiece depicting the alleged stabbing of a host by a Jew and its bleeding, which has long caused offence to Christians and Jews alike, has only recently been removed from a fourteenth-century chapel built on the site of the town's synagogue. Is this an aspect of the cult which falls within the scope of your thesis?
Best wishes
Graham

Try Mark Holtz 1997 (or 98?) dissertation from Notre Dame, "Cults of the Precious Blood in the Medieval Latin West."

Dear List,
I thought I would consult the considerable collective intellect and bibliographic expertise of the List to ask if anyone had any leads on the history of the Litany of the Most Precious Blood, which was officially sanctioned only in 1960, by John XXIII, but appears to have a history dating back to the 13thC (according to one source). The late apologist and Physics professor Stanley Jaki, OSB, seems to have written a history of the litany, which a blog post of his from 2009 claims he will include in the introduction to his commentary on each of the 24 invocations. I can't seem to find at any library a copy of Jaki's book (published by Realview Books, a press Jaki started), and I'd rather not purchase a copy sight unseen.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to historical material, primary source texts, or even secondary texts that might help me construct a history for the Litany? Even historical background on the devotion to the Most Precious Blood and the medieval cult of Christ's blood would be appreciated!
Best,
Joel
