Kalinke, Marianne E. Martin, John David 2015-09-28T15:03:43Z 2015-09-28T15:03:43Z 10000-01-01 2002 2002 "The Passion and Easter plays are imminently concerned with the Christian conception of the Jew. From the St. Gall Passion play (1300's) to the Alsfeld Passion play (1500), the Passion plays present Jesus's Jewish enemies alongside his Jewish followers. The Halle Passion play (1490's) emphasizes the Jewishness of Jesus and his disciples. Easter plays, in contrast, attribute to Jews sole guilt for Jesus's Crucifixion and exclusively venal motives. In hagiography (legends of St. Silvester, ""Der Judenknabe,"" Theophilus, St. Basil) Jews are variously depicted as philosophers, sorcerers, filicides, loving fathers, and righteous physicians. These legends are extensively attested in collections, such as Der Heiligen Leben, and in Latin and German versions of the Legenda Aurea. The medieval fable collections, like the hagiographic anthologies, present a diverse image of Jews. While the Avianus and the Anonymous Neveleti collections contain a group of fables whose epimyths presented Jews as venal, they also contain a fable depicting a Jew as an allegorical figure of the faithful soul. This was preserved when Boner's Edelstein supplanted Latin collections in the late 1300's. ""The Parable of the Ring,"" found in the Gesta Romanorum and the Decameron, presents Jews as one group of ""God's children,"" a description also transmitted by Hugo von Trimberg in his Der Renner . In order to account for the representations of Jews in medieval German literature, modern interpretive models require multiple hermeneutic categories."
