What is Martin Luther Vom Schem Hamphoras and Toldot (Toledot, Toldoth) Yeshu about?

Vom Schem Hamphoras, full title: Vom Schem Hamphoras und vom Geschlecht Christi (Of the Unknowable Name and the Generations of Christ), was a book written by German Reformation leader Martin Luther in 1543, in which he equated Jews with the Devil. Schem Hamphoras is the Hebrew rabbinic name for the ineffable name of God, the tetragrammaton. He wrote the 125-page text several months after publishing On the Jews and Their Lies. The book follows the publication by Jews of the Toledot (Toldot, Toledoth) Yeshu. Sefer Toledot Yeshu (The Book of the Generations/History/Life of Jesus), often abbreviated as Toledot Yeshu, is an early Jewish text taken to be an alternative biography of Jesus. A 15th-century Yemenite work of the same was titled Maaseh Yeshu, or the "Episode of Jesus" in which Jesus is described either as being the son of Joseph, or the son of Pandera. The account portrays Jesus as an impostor. The stories claim that Jesus (Yeshu) was an illegitimate child (mamzer), and that he practiced magic and heresy, seduced women, and died a shameful death.
