Summary/Abstract: One of the longest Latin inscriptions in Poznań can be found on a marble plaque in the Corpus Christi Church. It dates from the second half of the 17th or the beginning of the 18th century. Its text is the so-called ‘legend of the three hosts’, which were allegedly bought and desecrated by Jews living in Poznań in the Middle Ages. The legend therefore features strong anti-Jewish content. The purpose of this article is to present the inscription, its translation into Polish, and a commentary.
