Lecture - Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Jewish Iconography
On Saturday, November 12th, Temple Covenant of Peace will be hosting a talk by Dr. Sara Lipton who will be lecturing on her book Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Jewish Iconography. Prof. Lipton's work traces how the image of the "Jew" evolved into a recognizable iconography whose development and refinement was the result of the social, religious and economic concerns of the Middle Ages. Using medieval illustrations and texts, Dr. Lipton explains how the roots of Jewish caricature began much earlier than the 1500s when it has been assumed to have started.
