The Disputation of Paris (Hebrew: משפט פריז‎ Mishpat Pariz, French: Disputation de Paris), also known as the Trial of the Talmud (French: Procès du Talmud), took place in 1240 at the court of the King Louis IX of France. It followed the work of Nicholas Donin, a Jewish convert to Christianity who translated the Talmud and pressed 35 charges against it to Pope Gregory IX by quoting a series of allegedly blasphemous passages about Jesus, Mary, or Christianity.[1] Four rabbis defended the Talmud against Donin’s accusations.
