Más información sobre el libro

Set in 1925, the narrative revolves around a rare 1555 Hebrew manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew, acquired by a writer from a London bookseller. This volume includes Jewish objections to the Gospel and a Latin translation. The story traces its origins to Jean du Tillet, who allegedly obtained the manuscript from Jews in Italy. The account reveals the historical context of anti-Semitic actions, including Pope Julius III's decree to suppress the Talmud, highlighting the tension between Christianity and Judaism during that period.
