Sinopse

Vindicta Salvatoris (In English: The Avenging of the Saviour or The Vengeance of the Saviour) is a text of New Testament Apocrypha that expands the story of the aftermath of Jesus's execution. It was often presented as a supplement to the Gospel of Nicodemus. The oldest known copies are two Latin versions of the Vindicta Salvatoris, both dated to the 8th or 9th centuries and likely when the work was authored. The work is thought to have been composed in southern France, perhaps the Aquitaine region. The Vindicta Salvatoris is a virulently anti-Jewish work. According to it, the Jews are collectively guilty of the crime of killing Christ, and deserve torment and death. Divine favour will come to Christians who mete out God's justice on the Jews by killing them. The work also includes a retelling of the story of Saint Veronica's miraculous veil, imprinted with the face of Jesus, from the slightly earlier Cura sanitatis Tiberii legend. The story depicts the conversion of Titus to Christianity, Titus' siege of Jerusalem, the suicide of Herod the Great, the executions of Caiaphas and Herod Archelaus, and the imprisonment of Pontius Pilate in Damascus. A second part depicts the conversion of Tiberius to Christianity.
