	Gregory X: Letter on Jews Against the Blood Libel
		Even as it is not allowed to the Jews in their assemblies presumptuously to undertake for themselves more than that which is permitted them by law, even so they ought not to suffer any disadvantage in those [privileges] which have been granted them.
		Inasmuch as thejews are not able to bear witness against the Christians, we decree furthermore that the testimony of Christians against Jews shall not be valid unless there is among these Christians some Jew who is there for the purpose of offering testimony.
		Since it happens occasionally that some Christians lose their Christian children, the Jews are accused by their enemies of secretly carrying off and killing these same Christian children and of making sacrifices of the heart and blood of these very children.

	Blood Libel Part 1
		To date, the blood libel--the belief that Jews secretly murder Christian children in order to collect their blood (and, more rarely, internal organs) for various purposes--has received such a vast preponderance of scholarly attention that other versions of the ritual murder accusation have been all but eclipsed.
		Hence, if scholars in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries concerned themselves only with blood libels and their origins, that is not to say that they thought blood libels were the only ritual murder charges ever to have been brought against Jews.
		The two traditions of blood libel and "martyred innocent" arose separately and were associated with markedly different behavior patterns on the part of the accusors, but in subsequent centuries elements from both traditions became intertwined so that such disctinctions no longer mattered.
