"Published in 1516, Poul Ræff's Iudeorum Secreta, a translation of Johannes Pfefferkorn's The confession of the Jews, was a landmark in the development of anti-Jewish polemics in Denmark ... This book includes an outline of how Jews were portrayed in medieval Danish vernacular literature; a description of Pfefferkorn's life and works; a discussion of Ræff's translation and publication of Iudeorum Secreta; a presentation of the language and style of the Danish version, as well as an edition of the text together with the Latin original, an English translation and an extensive commentary" -- p. [4] of cover.
