Aloys von Sonnenfels and the Blood libel in the Early Enlightenment

Original language description

The article introduces the life and work of Aloys Sonnenfels, the father of the famous reformer Josef Sonnenfels. He is a forgotten figure of the Austrian Enlightenment - the son of the Landesrabbiner from Berlin, Aloys converted to Christianity and moved to Vienna. He endeavored to open the secrets of the Jewish kabbalah to Christians. In this article, I discuss all his works but I focus on his tract on the blood libel, Jüdischer Blut-Eckel, in which he attempted to use his rabbinical education to prove that that the Jews do not use blood in their rituals and their religion forbids them consume blood, be it human or animal.
