Italy. The documnt is known as the Trent Manuscript. The manuscript contains the testimony of the entire Jewish community of Trent — a town in northern Italy — which was arrested and ac- cused of the murder of a Christian infant named Simon. The body was alleged- ly discovered near the house of the head of the Jewish com- munity shortly after Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter of 1475. Following 15 days of torture, the "confessions" of 17 of the Jews were extracted. The manuscript contains their testimony, recorded under each of their names,and is lac- ed with quotations in Hebrew, mainly from the Haggadah, as it was around Passover when the allegations were raised. Of the 17 Jews accused and tortured, one died in prison, six were burned at the stake, and two were strangled. When a papal emmisary was sent to Trent to in- vestigate the circumstances of the incident, he was run out of town when the results of his inquiries led him to con- tradict the findings of the local trial. Proceedings were reopened in 1476 with the blessing of Pope Sixtus IV, whose court justified the libel. By the end of that year, five more Jews were executed. The property of the remain- ing Jews was confiscated and they were banned from the town through the 18th cen- tury. Additionally, the infant Simon was beatified, an authorization not overturned until 1965.
