Abstract:
In the first decades of the 18th century, several inquisitorial processes against the last two Judaizers of the islands were seen in Majorca. Files that had to be complemented in the British Menorca, with total secrecy. The analysis of these files shows how the Chueta community of Mallorca maintained a great mobility, with some very important international anchors. Trade, and religion, made possible the mobilization of mutualistic and solidarity forces between the Jewish community of Italy and North Africa. The study of the process against Rafael Joaquín Valls and Gabriel Cortés, and their relationship with some characters, such as Judah Cohen, Dutch ambassador to Algiers, or the Sulema family of Livorno, shows us the great solidarity of the Jewish community with Hispanic Judaizers. In addition, to understand the historical moment when both Valls and Cortés were immersed, we have made small prosopography of the main characters with which they interacted, from inquisitors to sailors.
