Abstract:
The "cancioneros" (collections of songs) of 15th century Spain contain sharp criticism aimed against Jews, Conversos, and courtiers of Jewish descent. The themes in the "cancioneros" were used as evidence in the trials of the Inquisition. The main accusations which appear in these songs are continued observance of Jewish rituals by Conversos, and the Jews’ economic activities.

Appeared also in "Jews and Conversos" (1985) 74-82.
