Summary:

'Jewish Dogs' is not a study of 'anti-Semitism' or 'anti-Judaism'. Instead, this text argues that to anchor claims of supersession, Catholics have viewed Jews as metaphoric - and sometimes not so metaphoric - dogs.

Ambivalence and continuity

The Bollandists and their work

Richard of Pontoise and Philip Augustus
