Hippolytus Lutostansky

Hippolytus Lutostansky, Lutostanski, Liutostanskii, J. J. Ljutostanski, or Ippolit Iosifovich Li︠u︡tostanskiĭ, Polish: Hipolit Lutostański (1835-1915), was a Roman Catholic priest of Polish extraction. He was a notorious antisemite. He was unfrocked for offences including rape and embezzlementFact|date=March 2008. Thereafter he converted to orthodoxy and joined a religious academy as its student. His infamy derives in part from his subsequent publication of a blood libel book in which he wrote about the alleged use of Christian blood in Jewish religious ritual.

Lutostansky's (Norman Cohn's transliteration of his name) most important book was the three volume set, "Talmud i evrei" (trans., "The Talmud and the Jews").
