Description: London: Cope And Fenwick, 1909. Eighth Edition. Hardcover. "I have [here] pointed out, even more emphatically than in the original edition, that superstition, especially the 'blood-superstition,' is even nowadays very wide-spread, and that it has had in the past, as it has in the present, deplorable, yes and horrible, consequences." - Preface. "Hermann Leberecht Strack (1848 – 1922) was a German Protestant theologian and orientalist; born in Berlin. He was the foremost Christian authority in Germany on Talmudic and rabbinic literature, and studied rabbinics under Steinschneider. Since the reappearance of anti-Semitism in Germany, Strack had been the champion of the Jews against the attacks of such men as Adolf Stoecker, August Rohling, and others." - Wikipedia.
