Wandering Jew legends traced through centuries in Albion
A careful study places the oldest known version around six hundred fifty years before Henry VIII in St Alban’s Abbey Chronicles. The piece surveys sightings of the Wandering Jew across Europe from Armenia to England, recounting names such as Castaphillus and Isaac Laquedemm, and notes how impostors and variations proliferated in the 16th to 18th centuries, with cultural echoes in opera, poetry, and folklore.
