Antonius Margaritha


Antonius Margarith (born 1492 in Regensburg, died in 1542 in Vienna) is a 16th-century Jewish hebrewist who converted to Christianity in 1522. He was baptized in Wasserburg. His work was a likely source for some of Martin Luther's views on Judaism.

. Margarith in March 1530 published a work entitled " "Der ganz jüdisch Glaub" (The Whole Jewish Faith) in which he attempted to explain Jewish prayers and customs with the intention of proving that the Jewish people had rejected the true Messiah. He accused the Jews of it. The fact is that Jewish prayers scapegoat German emperors. In June of that same year Emperor Charles V Habsburg convened in Augsburg a religious debate in front of a committee of scholars in which Antonius Margaritha's adversary was Josel of Rosheim, a representative and leader of the Alsatian Jews in the Holy Roman Empire against the emperor and the territorial rulers. As a result, according to Roselle's arguments, Antonius Margarita, the committee considered "a dangerous denunciator and a disturber". Martin Luther read "Der ganz jüdisch Glaub" in 1539, before writing his anti-Semitic treatise On the Jews and their lies from 1543.
