Yoffie: Observations on the Huldreich Manuscripts of the Toledot Yeshu. HauptbeschreibungOne of the most controversial books in history, Toledot Yeshu recounts the life story of Jesus from a negative and anti-Christian perspective. It ascribes to Jesus an illegitimate birth, a theft of the Ineffable Name of God, heretical activities, and, finally, a disgraceful death. Perhaps for centuries, the Toledot Yeshu circulated orally until it coalesced into various literary forms. Although the dates of these written compositions remain obscure, some early hints of a Jewish counter-history of Jesus can be found in the works of pagan and Christian authors of Late Antiquit Ora Limor and Israel Jacob Yuval: Judas Iscariot: Revealer of the Hidden TruthSefer Toledot Yeshu; The Burial; The Curse; The Joke; The Pogrom; The Legend of the Finding of the True Cross; The Biography of Judas in the Golden Legend; Epilogue: Judah, Jew, and Israel; John Gager: Simon Peter, Founder of Christianity or Saviour of Israel?; Appendix: Dating Issues; Conclusions; Galit Hasan-Rokem: Polymorphic Helena -- Toledot Yeshu as a Palimpsest of Religious Narratives and Identities; Yaacov Deutsch: The Second Life of the Life of Jesus: Christian Reception of Toledot Yeshu.
