The epidemic was followed by a violent explosion of anti-Jewishsentiment which was, in general terms, the result of a climate of fear and aversion towardsJews and Judaism which had surfaced in European society since the second half of thetwelfth century. Jews were accused of disseminating the disease, a claim which triggeredviolent attacks against the Jewish quarters of several towns, mainly in Germany, Switzer-land, and France. The only territory of the Iberian Peninsula where the persecution of theJews in this historical context became seriously critical was Catalonia. In other sections,we will also analyze the interpretation of the Plague epidemic in medical literature andHispanic-Hebrew chronicles. PB Servicio de Publicaciones.
