Abstracts

The Jewish anti-Gospel after its initial words called Toledot Yeshu has since ancient times been in Diaspora a testimony of opinion on Jesus and Christians held up by the Tiberiad society. Reconstructs anti-Christian polemic of Jews in the Tannait and Amorait époque, and the same it becomes besides Joseph Flavius and Talmud the third Judaic source for history of Jesus, of course history made from the Anti-Christian perspective.In its essential threads not altering from the I c. to XX c. manuscripts allows for knowing one of the modes of Jewish description of Christianity. Its content passed on in versions of Toledot Yeshu through 15 centuries had been preserving unshakable (literally rewritten) topoi humiliating a person and acts of Jesus. In late Middle Ages it aroused counteraction of Christians depicted in the obscene low relieves of Judensau, which we watch till today in some Christian temples. Unfortunately Toledot Yeshu besides excerpts from Talmud (indicated in my work) became also a perilous evidence in the Inquisition trials. Inquisitors directed the Jewish anti-Gospel, against Jews and proselytes. A thread of stealing away a mystery of the God Word, which occurs in all today known versions of Toledot Yeshu, became an archetype of the steady motif of innumerable fairy-tales and esoteric spells in formulas of secret fraternities.
