Leaf of Incunabula from the Nuremberg Chronicles Depicting a Medieval Blood Libel. Nuremberg, 1493

[1] folio CCLIIII depicting the infamous blood libel in Trento, Italy. Hartmann Schedel.

In 1475, the body of two-year-old Simon Unverdorben was found in Trento on Jewish property. The local bishop ruled that the entire Jewish community was guilty of his death. All were imprisoned, tortured and some were even executed by being burned at the stake or burned alive.
This picture depicts the so-called murderers of Simon, draining his blood.
