Abstract:
A paper delivered at a study day held in Mexico, spring 1987. Gives background on the situation of the Jews in Spain before the expulsion, the pogroms of 1391 and the mass conversions. Deals with the arrival of Conversos in America, especially the Portuguese, many of whom continued to observe the Jewish tradition in secret. Describes the establishment of the Inquisition in Mexico in 1536, the famous auto-da-fe of 1590 when some members of very important families were prosecuted, and the activities of the Inquisition between 1620-76.
