9— Impact and Implications

1. Neubauer, "Literary Gleanings IX."

2. Papal letters regarding the Jews from 1198 through 1254 were published and translated by Grayzel, The Church and the Jews in the XIIIth Century. Starting with 1240, letters 102, 102A, 105, 124-125, 127, and 128 all refer to issues related to converts from Judaism to Christianity.

4. There is a vast twentieth-century literature on Raymond Lull. Two recent publications are extremely valuable in orienting readers to the latest and best in Lullian scholarship. They are J. N. Hillgarth, Ramon Lull and Lullism in Fourteenth-Century France (Oxford, 1971), and Bonner, Selected Works of Ramon Llull.

36. A convenient edition of the well-known Constitutio pro Judeis, provided with an English translation, can be found in Solomon Grayzel, The Church and the Jews in the Thirteenth Century, #5, 92-95. Cf. the subsequent reenactments of the same bull in ibid., #35, 144-145; #81, 218-219; #111, 260-261; #118, 274-275. See the classic study by Solomon Grayzel, "The Papal Bull Sicut Judeis," Studies and Essays in Honor of Abraham A. Neuman, ed. Meir Ben-Horin et al. (Leiden, 1962), 243-280.

37. My disagreement with Cohen's thesis in general and my dissatisfaction with his use of the missionizing campaign in particular do not diminish my regard for the author and the book. I believe that much of the thrust of the study is perceptive and correct. Even the thesis with which I disagree has, it seems to me, been extremely useful in focusing attention on important thirteenth-century developments and sparking renewed consideration of central issues relative to that important epoch.
