Pfefferkorn, in order to vindicate his action …

Years: 1510 - 1510

Pfefferkorn, in order to vindicate his action and to gain still further the good will of the emperor, writes In Lob und Eer dem allerdurchleuchtigsten grossmechtigsten Fürsten und Herrn Maximilian (Cologne, 1510).

He is again at Frankfort in April, and with the delegate of the Elector of Mainz and Professor Hermann Ortlieb, he undertakes a new confiscation.

Van Hoogstraaten and the Universities of Mainz and Cologne decide in October 1510 against the Jewish books.

Reuchlin declares that only those books obviously offensive (as the Nizachon and Toldoth Jeschu) will be destroyed.

The elector sends all the answers received at the end of October to the emperor through Pfefferkorn.

Reuchlin reports in favor of the Jews.
