Popis:	Both the month and year of the first burning of the Talmud at Paris in the 1240s have so far been seen as uncertain and subject to various datings. This article argues that the traditionally accepted dates of 1242 and 1244 are largely unfounded. Even if 1242 falls within the window of time 1241-3 that is constrained by the evidence, other factors render it unlikely. 1244, on the other hand, falls outside the window of possibility. A full critical consideration of both the Christian and Jewish sources leads to the conclusion that the most probable date is June 1241.
