Abstract
This article highlights the reception of Talmud among the Christian Parisian erudits between 1140, with the drafting of the adversus judaethe de Pierre le Vérable, and 1248, the official conviction by Eudes de Châteauroux. With the creation of universities in the 12th century, intellectual curiosity and the thirst for knowledge led Christian theologians to texts not only biblical, but also rabbinic. At the same time, the presence of the Church and its doctrinal orthodoxy are growing, with an even stronger desire to supervise its faithful people. The 13th century was the time of a series of convictions of Christian theses by the Church to prevent the spread of dogmatic mistakes. With Pierre le Vérable, we see for the first time a Christian theologian to dwell on talmudic texts. It was only a century later that the Talmud became known to Christians, after Nicolas Donin, a Jewish converted to Christianity, informed Grégoire IX of the blasphematorial mistakes against God and the Christianity contained in this book. Once examined, Talmud was sentenced to 1240 and solemnly in 1248 by the Paris Authority, supported by meticulous recordings entitled Talmut Extractiones.
