| Riepilogo: | It is largely for his attack upon the Talmud that Peter the Venerable's Adversus Iudeorum inveteratam duritiem stands out. Peter is the first medieval Latin author to name the Talmud as such. Having identified the Talmud as a principal source of Jewish error, Peter condemns its influence upon Jews. In their Talmud, Peter the Venerable insists, Jews even declare that God condemns Christians to Hell "because they do not believe in the Talmud." Peter views the Talmud not only as a source of error for Jews, however, but also for Muslims. Muḥammad wove the Qurʾān in part, Peter insists, out of the filthy cloth of the Jews' Talmud. Since he claims that Satan is the ultimate source for Talmudic "lies," he attributes both the Talmud and the Qurʾān to diabolical agency. This paper examines Peter's view of the Talmud, then, and its deleterious influence upon both Jews and Muslims. |
