Sanctifying the Name of God: Jewish Martyrs and Jewish Memories of the First Crusade - Jewish Culture and Contexts
Jeremy Cohen
"The slaughter of the Jews in the Rhineland in 1096 is one of the better-known events of the First Crusade. Cohen analyzes the texts of the Jewish accounts of these massacres in light of the martyrdom tradition of Masada, well-known at that time, and the contemporary Christian cult of self-sacrifice. . . .
