Paul Christian (Pau Cristià)

Posted on 01/06/201615/07/2016 By Oriol Catalán

A converso from judaism, Paul Christian (Cast: Pablo Cristiano; Cat: Pau Cristià) entered the Dominican order, where he met influential friars such as Ramon de Penyafort or Ramon Martí.

He was elected as representative of the Christian side in the Disputation of Barcelona (1263), a debate against Moshe ben Nahman, Talmudist and rabbi of  Girona.

After the Disputation, he continued preaching to the Jewish communities in Catalonia and France, and probably took part in the Second controversy of Paris (1269).

Today is Candlemas, a festival of light in the lengthening days of early spring. An Anglo-Saxon sermon for this ancient and beautiful feast, when 'þæt soðe Leoht, Crist, wæs geboren to þam temple' ('the true Light, Christ, was borne to the temple'): https://aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2012/01/lfric-on-candlemas-twofold-burgeoning.html
