Abstract:
Disputes research on the medieval period which stresses the dichotomy between Ashkenazic martyrdom and Sephardic conversion in the face of Christian persecution. Contends that there was also conversion in Ashkenaz, and that many Spanish Jews chose martyrdom in 1391. Discusses contemporary letters, halakhic literature, commentaries, and liturgical poetry which attest to the acceptance of the ideology of martyrdom by Spanish Jewry and to the actual martyrdom of many Jews. Refutes the idea that Jewish martyrs in Spain were influenced by Ashkenazi ideology, claiming that they were probably influenced by Christian martyrdom. Notes that there were cases of martyrdom among Spanish Jews in the 15th century as well, in spite of the many conversions which took place.
