Jacob Barnet is surely an example of antisemitism in Europe in the middle ages. According to editor Abisharan it does not qualify as antisemitism because : According to article doesn't seem to be antisemitism. It could had happen with a member of other religion also. It is more Religious intolerance. However when religious intolerance happens to Jews, it is known as antisemitism. It didn't happen to a Muslim or a Hindu in this case, so is appropriate to link here. Stellarkid (talk) 14:38, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

• Not really. So far Jacob Barnet's article shows only the religious intolerance of the university, only allowing Christians. Compare, for example to Dreyfus affair, the only other individual event(s) linked in antisemitism, to get an idea of the different features and connotations of an antisemitism example. It is possible that the links is right to be linked here. But for that the article needs to be improved much further to show, with references, that it is in fact considered an example of antisemitism. A key to that improvement could be finding out the content and connotation of the changes in the speech of the priest presiding the baptism had to do after learning of the disappearance of Barnet. So far, the article only shows an intolerant university only accepting Christians and an upset group after being turned down. Your rationale implies then that if a similar incident happen to a Taoist then is an example of antitaoism? Well, in any case, that inclusion needs references not just an individual opinion and certainly be something explicitly stated in the article that is classified as such.

"Middle Ages"

"Middle Ages = 500 to 1500"[1] I am sure we can do better than that. This is a bit like the witch-hunts, pop culture wants to think they are "medieval" but it turns out they really took off only in the 1400s. Actually, it appears that anti-Judaism and the witchcraft hysteria were driven by pretty much the same social mechanism. It may have something to do with the plague of 1348, but it really seems to have taken people's fancy that there were Satanic conspiracies all over the place in the social upheavals of the 15th and 16th centuries.

Yes there was anti-Judaism and burning of heretics, just as Monty Python and the Holy Grail would suggest, during the later medieval period (say, after 1100), but you cannot just paint the entire 400 years (1100 to 1500) with a broad brush. There were developments. Even less can you include the six hundred years of "500 to 1100" just because they are "also medieval". By all means write a section about "early medieval anti-Semitism", but it will need to be based on actual references. --dab (𒁳) 20:54, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

What do you people mean? Egyptians enslaved the jews, romans burned them, the first crusade got 800 killed in Worms, Isabel the Caholic kicked them out of Spain in the late XV century, and so on. Christians and other religions have persecuted the jews for centuries, and as far as I know it was only during the late XX century that the Papal State decided to say they are not to be punished for killing Christ in the Nostra Aetate IIRC.

Hi everyone! I would like to add a section to Medieval Antisemitism titled “Medieval Antisemitic Art.” During the Middle Ages, lots of art was made by Christians portraying Jews as stereotypical or fictional type figures. I think including this is important because it reveals insight on antisemitism during this time that isn’t always known. I am going to focus on Chapter three of the book “Saracens, Demons, and Jews” by Debra Higgs Strickland. I plan on dividing the section on antisemitic art into subsections, such as “Jews as enemies of Christians,” “Jews as friends with the devil,” and “Stereotypical Jewish Appearances (like pointy hats).” Let me know if anyone has any questions or concerns!

Anti-Semitism during the Reformation

This section, although small, should be completely removed for the simple fact that the Reformation did not occur in the Middle Ages. Even the latest date for the end of the Medieval period (1520) brings us to the day that Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door (exaggerating, but you get the idea). In fact the Reformation is typically categorised as coinciding with the Renaissance, as it is in the Outline of the history of Western civilization article and most other places.Jonathan f1 (talk) 05:26, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

The Renaissance had already began in the 14th century, with the works of Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, and Giotto. The German Renaissance had started in the 15th century with the works of Conrad Celtes, Johann Reuchlin, and Albrecht Dürer. Dimadick (talk) 11:23, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
