One of the most widely read and used of any medieval anti-Jewish and anti-Islamic text, the Dialogi contra Iudaeos (and within them, the Titulus Quintus) represent a crucial turning-point in Christian portrayal of Islam and Judaism in medieval Europe. For the first time, polemics grounded on the Talmud and the Qur’an, interpreted as two illicit pseudo-revelations which formed the bases for two heretical doctrines. Both Talmud and Qur’an, for Alfonsi, could be attacked through scriptural and rational scientific argumentation.
