Bodo (c. 814〔 〕 – 876) was a Frankish deacon at the court of Emperor Louis the Pious, who caused a notorious case of apostasy in the Europe of his day. ==Life== In early 838, Bodo declared that he was embarking to make a pilgrimage to Rome, but instead went to Muslim Spain, where he converted to Judaism.〔 〕 His conversion was regarded as a rejection of the Carolingian culture, as well as of the Christian faith.〔 〕 He took the Jewish name of Eleazar, had himself circumcised and married a Jewish woman. In 839, Bodo moved to Saragossa, where he incited the government of the Caliphate of Cordoba and the people to persecute the Spanish Christians. Léon Poliakov claims that this conversion is "evidence" of the high regard in which Jews were held in Carolingian France.〔Poliakov, Leon, ''The History of Anti-Semitism, Volume 2: from Mohammad to the Marranos'' page 107, University of Pennsylvania Press: 2003〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bodo (deacon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
