medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
It's way out of your period, but the Life of Caesarius of Arles, written very soon after his death (542-3), has a fair bit about his relations with the Jewish community - I think the Jews were accused of having betrayed him to the Visigothic authorities, but they were supposed to have mourned his death along with the Gaullish citizens of Arles. In one of his sermons, he compares the piety of the Jews favourably to the lackadaisical religious comportment of Christians.

> Does anyone know of Jews mentioned in saints' lives? Either as a topos or "the Jews" or individual Jews in the life of a saint. I'm particularly interested in 13th-century Latin vitae, but other references would be much appreciated. Do you know of modern studies on this subject of the role of Jews or simply the mention of Jews collectively or individually in vitae?
