Odo of Châteauroux

In 1247 the pope asked Odo to examine the Talmud from the Jewish standpoint, and to ascertain whether it might not be tolerated as harmless to the Christian faith, and whether the copies which had been confiscated might not be returned to their owners.

Eudes informed the pope that the change of attitude involved in such a decision would be wrongly interpreted, and on 15 May 1248 the Talmud was condemned for the second time.

[7] A long list of supposed "errors and blasphemies" contained the Talmud was compiled by Eudes de Chateauroux.

[11] He accompanied Louis IX of France on the Seventh Crusade, and is mentioned by Joinville, returning in 1254, via Cyprus.

[12] Dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals from December 1254 and Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church in 1270.
