The Talmud Unmasked

The Talmud unmasked (Latin: Christianus in Talmud Iudaeorum: sive, Rabbinicae doctrinae Christiani secreta) is book written in 1892 by Justinas Bonaventure Pranaitis (1861–1917). The book, generally regarded as antisemitic, is a collection of quotes from the Talmud and Zohar which purports to demonstrate that Judaism despises non-Jews and promotes the murder of non-Jews. Pranaitis was not able to read Aramaic, the primary language of the Talmud, and so he relied primarily on the works of Jakob Ecker and August Rohling. Various elements tend to prove that the author, whose incompetence was established unambiguously at the time of the Beilis trial, was ignorant of the rabbinical literature which he intends to describe, unlike other Christian polemists from which he largely borrows.
