Abstract:
Analyzes Conversos' attitudes to conversion on the basis of documents from the bishopric of Cuenca, Castile, from the late 15th-early 16th centuries. Most of the Conversos expressed sorrow for the loss of Judaism and difficulty in departing from tradition. Many of them stuck to Jewish practices and beliefs, criticizing Christianity, and some of them returned to Judaism, in Portugal for example.
