English abstract
This article treats a little-noticed literary witness to the polemic encounter between Jews and Christians based on New Testament texts. As a case study, it explores the Jewish understanding of the Sermon on the Mount and its utilization in polemic refutations of the Christian attitude to Torah and christological beliefs as it becomes visible in Qiṣṣat Mujādalat al-Usquf (8th/9th century, translated as Sefer Nestor Ha-Komer in c. 1170 C.E.). This text, the earliest surviving of its kind, testifies to a continual exegetical and dogmatic encounter and polemic between Jews and Christians during the late Byzantine / early Medieval period.
