1915, Julio Vicuña Cifuentes, Mitos y Supersticiones Recogidos de la Tradición Oral Chilena, page 73:La leyenda del Judío Errante es muy antigua, aunque no tanto como imaginan los que todavía defienden su autenticidad. Creen algunos que se forjó en Constantinopla en el siglo IV, pero no fué popular en Europa sino en fecha muy posterior. Ninguno de los Padres de la Iglesia la consigna, y de ella no hay testimonio escrito hasta el siglo XIII, en una crónica de Mateo París, monje de San Albano.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
