Nel 1681 viene pubblicato ad Amsterdam il primo trattato con cui gli ebrei si difendono dall'accusa infamante di uccidere bambini cristiani e di usarne il sangue per scopi rituali. Diffusa in Europa già dal XII secolo, sostenuta da dicerie popolari e alimentata da canti, racconti, xilografie e sermoni, l'accusa provoca comprensibili effetti di destrutturazione delle comunità israelitiche e favorisce, in campo cristiano, la devozione nei confronti delle giovani vittime. Intitolato Vindex Sanguinis e firmato da Isaac Viva - probabilmente uno pseudonimo - il trattato si regge su analisi storiche e argomentazioni razionali che producono un sapiente capovolgimento di ruoli: i primi cristiani, incolpati di omicidio rituale dai pagani, avrebbero trasferito sugli ebrei l'«accusa del sangue» trasformandosi, a propria volta, in persecutori.
