Scarce account of an infamous blood libel - the 1840 Damascus Affair: The Great Trial against the Jews in Damascus for the alleged murder of Father and his servant.
A popular account of this infamous event, along with some insights into the Talmud and an attempt to answer the question: "Whether the Jews really use human or Christian blood for religious purposes".
On February 5, 1840, Father Thomas, a Franciscan Capuchin monk and his Muslim servant, Ibrahim Amrah, disappeared in Damascus. The Jewish community was accused by the Christians of murdering Father Thomas and his servant, and to have extracted their blood in order to bake matza bread. The Christians were supported in their accusation by the French consul at Damascus, Ulysse de Ratti-Menton, an antisemite who was known to favour Christian merchants over their Jewish counterparts.

Presumed first edition; 8vo, cloth backed original printed wrappers, corners and edges rubbed; mild staining to pages; text in German; [2], 82 pp.
