Ritual Murder Allegation, Munich, 1285
Raphael Sadeler, B. Henricus puer ab Iudaeis caesus Monachii, 1624/1627. Engraving from the Bavarian saints series in Bavaria Sancta et Pia. The image reflects a later Catholic devotional tradition surrounding the alleged victim “Blessed Henry” and should be understood as a seventeenth-century representation of the medieval blood libel accusation, not as a contemporary record of the 1285 event.
