abstract = "Discusses Peter the Venerable{\textquoteright}s polemical works against the Petrobrusian heretics, the Saracens, and the Jews in order to determine the probable date of the latter. Aided by analysis of the text of his {"}Contra Judaeos,{"} and letters written by and to Peter, determines that the first three chapters and the first part of the fourth of his {"}Contra Judaeos{"} were completed by 1144. But chapter five is harsher and more aggressive, with a virulent attack on the Talmud, possibly due to the prevailing atmosphere on the eve of the Second Crusade in 1146-47.",
