Magda Teter’s history of this idea notes the “multimedia campaign” of Johannes Hinderbach, who created a cult centered on a young boy. On behalf of Benedict XIV, future Pope Clement XIV wrote a never-published report discrediting this idea. Simon of Trent’s death created a cult based on this idea, which also triggered Thomas of Monmouth to call for vigilante violence. The last trial triggered by this idea targeted (*) Mendel Beilis, which prompted Ze’ev Jabotinsky to call for people to stop apologizing. Hugh of Lincoln was invoked in Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Prioress’ Tale,” which spread this idea. According to some legends, in response to the priest Taddeus spreading this idea, the Maharal created the Prague Golem. For 10 points, name this antisemitic idea that Jews ritually murder Christian children. ■END■
