The life and passion of William of Norwich
Thomas (Author), Miri Rubin (Translator, Editor)
This translation of a 12th-century English chronicle gives insight into daily life in a medieval cathedral city, while also documenting miracles at the shrine of William, a boy worshippers believed to be murdered by the Jews of Norwich. This was the earliest version of the "blood libel," a horrible myth of ritual murder which has haunted Europe ever since
