The Dominican friars of Cologne assisted the Archbishop of Cologne, Johannes von Eltz, in a campaign to suppress Jewish literature during the late 15th century. This effort was part of a broader movement against Jewish texts, culminating in the public burning of the Talmud in 1510. The friars aimed to eliminate what they considered heretical writings and to promote Christian doctrine.
