- Notes
- See p. 312 for the purity of Jewish bloodline ("The Jew may wander and sojourn in strange lands, but he cherishes with national pride the blood of Abraham, which he insists still flows in his veins, and he is most careful, of all things, to transmit it pure to his children"). On pp. 327-28, the author addresses Jewish- Catholic hostility stemming from the Christ-killer accusation, on the one hand, and Jewish charges leveled against Catholics as idol and image worshippers.
