WANDERING JEW

a legendary Jew who, for some insult offered to Christ at the time of His Pa ion, is doomed to wander eternally throughout the world. The story is of no antiquity and does not appear at all in the Hast, no reference being made to it even in the great work of Jean d’Outre me use. The tradition varies considerably, and no two versions agree as to the name of the Jew. The chronicle of St. Albans Abbey for 1228 tells of the visit of an Armenian bishop who gave an account of the W. J. under the name of Kart a phi los. According to this version, he was a doorkeeper of the Judgment Hall, and as Jesus pa ed out he struck Him saying, ‘Go, Jesus, go on faster,’ to which the Christ replied, ‘I go; but thou shalt tarry till I come again.’ Matthew of Paris, continuing the same chronicle, tells us that Kart a phi los was baptised by Ananias under the name of Joseph, and henceforth, at the end of every hundred years, falls into a trance from which he wakes to find himself at the age of thirty, ve age at which he was when he struck Jesus.
