About this product

Product Information

This text is about Spanish secret Judaism and the Inquisition, which strove to uproot the Judaizing heresy among baptised Jews and their descendants. Even in the 18th century, Cryptojudaism was still prevalent, but the Inquisition finally triumphed. This work describes the private lives of the crypto Jews, as revealed in their confessions, together with their fate in prison and at the auto-da-fe at which they abjured their Judaism and were reconciled to the Church or, if not, burnt at the stake. This new edition includes material on converso descendants in modern Portugal.
