Description

During the 13th century, Europe was controlled by a militant church, and France was ruled by Louis IX - a bitter enemy of the Jews.
All copies of the Talmud were seized and four Baalei Tosfos were interrogated in public. 

How did Jewry recover from this calamity?

Was this tragedy related to the burning of the Rambam’s writings?
