THE DISPUTATION AT
BARCELONA.

In the year 1868, Penyaforte ar
ranged for the disputation to be held
at Barcelona in the presence of the
king and his court and of many
church dignitaries and members of
the highest nobility. Many promi
nent Jews were also to be present.
The invitation to Nahmanides was
sent by the king himself and was
accepted. Nahmanides stipulated
one condition, however, namely, per-
feet freedom of speech. The debate
lasted four days and was carried on
in a most dignifed manner. The
disputants, in order to concentrate
their efforts on the main issue, con-
fined themselves to these questions:
Has the Messiah appeared; is the
Messiah, according to Old Tesla
ment teaching, to be a god; and
which is the true faith?
Pablo Christian tried to prove to
his opponent the Messianic claims

THE CENSORING OF THE
TALMUD.

Penyaforte was tireless in his eff
forts to gain his point, or to make
the Jews suffer for their obstinacy.
He obtained letters of protection
from the king for Pablo Christian
to enable him to travel through all
the Jewish communities and to
preach the gospel to them without
mo1estation. The Jews were ORDER
ed to give him a patient hearing at
all times and in all places and to
produce for his use all Hebrew books
that he may require for his purpose.
The results of his jealous activity
were the same as far as the saving
of Jews souls was concerned, but
they often meant torment for their
bodies, and still oftener insults and
extortion
Pablo, enraged by his failure,
adopted new tactics. Since he could
not convince the Jews by quoting
from Talmud, he denounced the Tai
mud before Pope Clement w as a
book full of blasphemous utterances
against Christianity. The pope is
sued bull to the bishop of Tara
gona ordering him to confscate all
the copies of the Talmud found

JAYNE, THE CONQUEROR OF
ARAGON.
ARAGON.

The lot of the Jews of Aragon was
in the middle Of the Thirteenth CEN
fury becoming even worse than that
of the Jews in other parts Of the pen
insula. Their fate depended upon
the will and whim of one man, the
king, Jayne l, called The Conquer
or (1213-1276). AS his title implies,
he was a powerful ruler, brave and
doughty in war, clever and resource
full and successful in most Of
his enterprises. But he was un-
principled and INSCRIPTIONS, per
fdious, dissolute and cruel to a
degree objectionable even in a
king of that age with its low stand
ard of royal morality. His attitude
toward the Jews of his kingdom was,
in addition, influenced by two fac
tors, his close contact with the big
oted St. Louis, king of France, ow-
ing to the territorial possessions of
Jayne in the southern part of that
kingdom, and the growing hostility
of the clergy, especially the two or
ders of the Dominicans and Fran
ciscans.
Jayne looked upon the Jews as
his individual possession, his serfs.
He always spoke of his Jews, his
"Juderias," and that became the es-
tablished practice of all his success
sors. While this made the veal or
woe of the Jews of Aragon entirely
dependent upon the caprice of the
monarch, it had the redeeming fea-
ture of withdrawing them from the
sinister power of the clergy, and at
the same time deprived them Of the
protection often granted them by
members of the high nobility, which
at times proved great benefit.

Of Jesus by quoting Agadic passages
from rabbinic literature, containing
the fanciful views of the rabbis con-
corning the Messiah. But Mailman
ides frankly declared his entire I'M
belief in such views, since the state
ments Of the Agadah may be edify
ing but are not binding upon the
faithful Jew. Nahmanides clinched
his arguments against the Messiah
ship of Jesus with the statement that
while the prophets predicted univer-
sal justice and peace as concomitants
Of the advent of the Messiah, the
coming of Jesus and the spread Of
Christianity have brought increased
violence, war and b1oodshed into the
world.
The debate ended as usual. Mel
Their party was, or could be, con-
WINGED. But that Nahmanides held
his ground we'll, and most ably de-
Tended his cause, was proved by the
fact that the king himself could not
withhold his tribute of admiration
from him. and as a token of his es-
TEEN invited him to private audi
ence and presented him with 800
maravedis. The Dominicans, of
course, would not acknowledge de-
feat, and spread all kinds Of false ru-
mors abroad, among others, that
Nahmanides, not being able to face
his defeat and disgrace, had quietly
fled from the city. But by their sub
sequent actions they showed how
their own defeat ranked within

AND HIS CONVERSION

MANIA.

But while the church had no di-
rect control over the Jews of Aragon
it found the king a willing instru-
ment for the carrying out of its am
bilious schemes, and one of these
schemes was the wholesale CONVEX
sion of Jews and Mohammedans and
the determination of heretics and
heresies. For that purpose the
church supplied itself with two pow
erful arms, the Dominican and Fran
ciscan orders. Raymond de Peny-
aforte was the general of the Do

Arabic introduced into the higher
schools of learning. Armed with
such knowledge, he thought, the
work of conversion would be easy,
for monk or priest.
Pablo Christian, a converted Jew,
and member of the order of which
Penyaforte was the head, was chos-
en- as missionary to the Jews. He
went about preaching in the differ
ent communities. But as he met with
the usual success attained by such
efforts as far as stiff-necked Israel
is concerned, Penyaforte concluded
that a public disputation between
chosen representatives of Judaism
and Christianity, if it resulted in
victory for the church, of which
result he had no doubt, would COM
pei the Jews to yield. Pablo Chris
tiani, who had a knowledge of He
brew and Jewish literature, was
chosen to represent the church,
while the synagogue was to entrust
it's fate into the hands Of the most
learned rabbi of the time, a man of
vast scholarly attainments and of
philosophically ira n e d mind
Moses Nahmanides. The example
of Nahmanides, should he be COM
PEELED publicly to pay tribute to the
dominant faith, would be irresistible
for the other Jews.
