Abstract

Jewish identity in the early modern period – the era in which traditional anti-Judaism turned into anti-Semitism – is shaped by violence, expulsion, ghetoisation, visual forms of dirrerentiation, integration but not assimilation into the European Christian culture. Studying the relationship of intellectual and physical categories, soul and body as a social and historical construct, it can be, to some extent, answer the question what it means to be Jewish in the early modern period. Based on the experiences of actual protagonists and observers, in their own reality, this text represents the perception and self-perception of Jews in the mental and visual codes of the Renaissance.
