Through imprints from the “pamphlet wars” surrounding this controversy, the exhibition examined the imperial edict that initiated the struggle, Reuchlin’s defense of Jewish books, traditions and civil rights, his adversaries’ refutations, anti-Semitism in the age of printing, and early Christian Hebrew studies.
