Description
567 pages : facsimiles, portrait; 24 cm.
Summary
Analyzes the emotional and social consequences of the forced conversions and expulsion of the Jews from Spain and Portugal. Rejected by the Old Christians, Conversos maintained a clandestine way of life, subjected to pressure that culminated in the test of purity of blood. Discussing extracts from the testimonies of expelled Jews, analyzes the life and work of Converso intellectuals. Describes the antisemitic use of the "Exemplar Humanae Vitae" by Uriel da Costa (1585-1640) a philosopher and free thinker who criticized the Jewish community of Amsterdam as too rigid and ritualistic. Argues that Spinozism is the outcome of the spiritual crisis of the crypto-Jewish community.
