Résumé:In february 1840, Father Thomas, a Capucine monk, disappeared from Damascus. The Jews of the town were accused to have murdered him in order to use his blood in the preparation of the Easter Matzot. The religious man being a French protégé, the Consul of France made his enquiry within very complex international surroundings. The Western European Jews - mostly from France - mobilized themselves in a vast movement of solidarity, against the slanderous indictment of ritual murder, and on behalf of their fellow-coreligionists from the Levant. In this affair, one can see the appearance of the first signs of contemporaneous antisemitism.
