Abstract:
Discusses the Jewish presence in the towns of Orense and Ribadavia (Galicia), outlining the traditional tolerance expressed by the local population toward Jews. Recalls, nevertheless, a few anti-Jewish events, such as the destruction of the synagogue and burning of the Talmud in Orense by local aristocrat Gonzalo Díaz de Cardóniga in 1442, the conquest of Ribadavia by pro-Lancaster forces of Sir Thomas Percy and a subsequent pogrom (14th century), and the persecution by Inquisitor Pedro Pérez Gamarra in the 17th century. Denies any foundation for the legend of the alleged blasphemy by Judaizing Conversos in Ribadavia in the 16th century.
