These examples of early uses of the Secret Codes will be useful in investigating the sources of the contemporary codes.

Germany

Image1193 uses the infanticide and pig codes to transmit antisemitism.
A wall painting on the bridge tower of Frankfurt am Main, constructed between 1475 and 1507 near the gateway to the Jewish Ghetto and demolished in 1801, included a scene of the alleged ritual murder of Simon of Trent. Its upper panel depicts the child martyr Simon of Trent, subject of a blood libel case. The lower panel shows the Devil, or a devil with horns, looking on while at left, a Jewish woman is having sex with a goat, and in the foreground, two Jews are having sexual communion with a pig, while a Jewish child is suckling from the same pig.

Image1192 uses the demons and pig codes to transmit antisemitism.
The engraving shows Simon of Trent in the upper panel and the Devil urging a Jew to have intercourse with a pig. Another Jew is suckling the pig and a third is mounted on its back. Hog farmers may "ride" sows in this fashion to determine if they are in heat.
Further Information:
Judensau - The Judensau (Jew pig) is a popular cultural mainstay of German religious and institutional artwork created during and after the middle ages, and still proudly exhibited in cathedrals, churches and public buildings in Germany. Isolated examples also exist or existed in Austria, France, Belgium and Switzerland. It is a staple of anti-Semitism. It depicts Jews in obscene activities with a pig, sometimes in consort with the Devil, sometimes copulating with the pig or with pig faces, or eating pig excrement or suckling from the sow. It is often combined with depictions of the blood libel. The insult is based on the Jewish ritual prohibition against eating or touching pigs.
