 Luther's main works on the Jews were his 65,000-word treatise "Von den Juden und Ihren Lügen" ("On the Jews and Their Lies") and "Vom Schem Hamphoras und vom Geschlecht Christi" ("Of the Unknowable Name and the Generations of Christ") — reprinted five times within his lifetime — both written in 1543, three years before his death.It is believed that Luther was influenced by Anton Margaritha's book "Der gantze Jüdisch Glaub" ("The Whole Jewish Belief").Margaritha, a convert to Christianity who had become a Lutheran, published his antisemitic book in 1530 which was read by Luther in 1539.
