Based on newly discovered Ottoman and Jewish sources and using a legal lens on Levantine practices, The 1840 Rhodes Blood Libel argues that the acquittal of Rhodian Jews following a ritual murder charge is only adequately understood in the context of the Tanzimat and the Sublime Porte's foreign relations, and in the context of a shared Ottoman and Jewish history.
