The Talmud Unmasked (Latin: Christianus in Talmud Iudaeorum: sive, Rabbinicae doctrinae Christiani secreta. English: The secret rabbinical teachings concerning Christians) is a book published in 1892 by Justinas Bonaventure Pranaitis (1861–1917). The book is a collection of purported quotations from the Talmud and Zohar that are claimed to demonstrate that Judaism despises non-Jews and promotes the murder or injury of non-Jews in some instances. Pranaitis drew on the earlier works of Jakob Ecker and August Rohling. Scholars classify "The Talmud Unmasked" as an anti-semitic and anti-Talmudic work, comparable to "Der Talmud Jude" by August Rohling (1871) and "The Traditions of the Jews" by Johann Eisenmenger (1700).

Accuracy and fabrication

Pranaitis could not read Aramaic (the primary language of the Talmud). The book includes numerous quotations from the Talmud and the Zohar. His ignorance of some simple Talmudic Aramaic concepts and definitions, such as "hullin", was demonstrated during the Menahem Mendel Beilis blood libel case in which he testified as a "Talmud expert".

Use by apocalyptic cults

Jeffrey Kaplan describes how the book was used by cults to support apocalyptic theories, particular relating to the end-of-times.
