Among other things he talked about how respectful Gilbert is, even to the point of not having the Jew finally be convinced by the Christian's arguments (as many other dialogues fantasise about). But he also pointed out the possible edge even to this. Would some of Crispin's readers get from this ending the ideas that reasoned arguements were ineffective, that Jews were implacably non-convertible, and that therefore some other (less peaceful) approach had to be taken to the 'problem'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
