Editat de Claude B. Stuczynski, Bruno Feitler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 iun 2018
In Portuguese Jews, New Christians and ‘New Jews’ Claude B. Stuczynski and Bruno Feitler gather some of the leading scholars of the history of the Portuguese Jews and conversos in a tribute to their common friend and a renowned figure in Luso-Judaica, Roberto Bachmann, on the occasion of his 85th birthday. The texts are divided into five sections dealing with medieval Portuguese Jewish culture, the impact of the inquisitorial persecution, the wide range of converso identities on one side, and of the Sephardi Western Portuguese Jewish communities on the other, and the role of Portugal and Brazil as lands of refuge for Jews during the Second World War. This book is introduced by a comprehensive survey on the historiography on Portuguese Jews, New Christians and 'New Jews' and offers a contribution to Luso-Judaica studies

Recenzii

"With chapters ranging from the thirteenth century to the Holocaust, Portuguese Jews, New Christians, and “New Jews” is a noteworthy contribution to Jewish Studies, especially in the Iberian world and in the diaspora (...)The unusually large scope, the diversity of themes, places, and individuals, and, most importantly, the overall quality and consistency of the chapters, make Portuguese Jews a most valuable book."
- Francisco Malta Romeiras, Universidade de Lisboa, Journal of Jesuit Studies 6 (2019)
