Later edition of “Epistola contra Judaeorum errores” a widely-disseminated anti-Judaic tract. Supposedly composed in Arabic by a Moroccan Jew ("Samuel Marochitanus") at the beginning of the 11th-century and translated into Latin by the Spanish Dominican Alphonsus Bonihominis in the 14th century, but now considered to have been composed by the latter. The text delineates various ways in which the Jews can be proven wrong about their religion, primarily focussing on their rejection of Jesus as a personal Messiah.
