Trophies of Damascus, or alternatively Trophies Framed against Jews in Damascus, was a 7th-century anti-Jewish dialogue written around 681 A.D. in Damascus. Detailed inside are four discussions surrounding various theological issues, as well as a dialogue between a Jewish stylite and a Chalcedonian - the second dialogue is referred to as the "Bonwetsch Dialogue" by some scholars. After the dialogues, there is disarray among the Jews, with some saying, "By the Law I think we are wrong". Trophies of Damascus has been discovered in fragments inside a palimpsest in Vienna; however, the full text is only preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France Parisinus Coislianus 299 along with other anti-Jewish works such as the Doctrina Jacobi and an extended version of Dialogue of Timothy and Aquila Because Damascus was under Arab rule at this time, some scholars suggest that the Jews are actually a cipher for the Arabs.
The German Historical Institute Moscow is a history institute of the Max Weber Stiftung based in Moscow, Russia. The founding director was Bernd Bonwetsch, the director as of 2024 is Sandra Dahlke. In June 2024 Russia declared the institute an undesirable organization.
