Appearing on the title page of this volume by the Jewish convert to Christianity, Johannes Pfefferkorn, this engraving of the crucifixion shows Jesus’ blood flowing from his wounds into a font. Mary the mother of Jesus shelters the faithful on the left, while the pope (note the triple tiara and the key of St. Peter) stands with the faithful on the right. Below are figures intended to represent Jews (note the circumcision, bottom left). Pfefferkorn proselytized Jews and burned Jewish books. The current engraving demonizes Jews and asserts the superiority of Christianity
