To achieve such a goal, a broad selection of primary sources was used - theological treatises, historiographical works, inflammatory pamphlets and more. The author also indicates the continuity of the European anti-Semitic tradition - from medieval times to contemporary era. Keywords Anti-Semitism, Czech lands, Jews, Reformation, Stereotypes
