Anathema: The Book Curse
15thc Crypto-Jews of the Iberian Peninsula
Large numbers of Jewish people were forced to convert to Christianity starting in Seville in 1391. Jews were officially expelled from Spain in 1492. Any who lived in Portugal were forced to convert in 1497. All Jews who didn’t leave converted to Christianity. Some were genuine converts but many took their religion underground. This class will give a history, brief survey of customs and the vocabulary of the Crypto-Jews of Portugal and Spain. The session was for the Known World Colegio de Iberia 2021.
