"The Former Jews of this Kingdom": Sicilian Converts after the Expulsion, 1492-1516 de Nadia Zeldes

"The Former Jews of this Kingdom": Sicilian Converts after the Expulsion, 1492-1516: The Medieval Mediterranean, cartea 46

Autor Nadia Zeldes
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 dec 2002
This book examines the presence of the converted Jews in Sicily following the 1492 expulsion, discussing their legal status, economic activities and integration into Sicilian society, and the phenomenon of conversion and return of many exiles. The research is based on the account of books of the Spanish Inquisition in Sicily and other contemporary sources. Detailed inventories of confiscated property offer insights into the converts' cultural world, and can also be of interest to the scholar of social and material history in Early Modern Europe.
By focussing on royal policies towards the converted Jews, and on the process of establishing the Spanish Inquisition in Sicily, the study sheds new light on Ferdinand the Catholic's politics in Sicily and southern Italy.
