Peter (In Latin Niger) Schwartz <ref name="term_59551" /> 
<p> Schwartz, Peter (In [[Latin]] Niger), </p> <p> a German theologian, was born early in the 15th century. His early history is unknown, except that he received a good education and entered the [[Order]] of St. Dominic. He traveled widely, and in every way endeavored to add to his knowledge of the laws and customs of the Jews. His knowledge of [[Hebrew]] was so great that in 1474 he carried on a discussion with several rabbis in that language at Ratisbon. At that time he was teaching at Wurzburg, but left to take charge of the [[College]] of Buda, in Hungary. He died in 1481. Many of the works of [[Niger]] are lost — indeed, but two important ones remain: [[Tractatus]] ad Judoeorum Perfidiam Extirpandam Confectus (Essling, 1477, fol.; transl, into German under the title [[Stella]] Messioe [ibid. 1477, 4to]): — Clypeus Thomistarum (Venice, 1482, fol.). </p>
