Abstract:
The "cancioneros" (collections of songs) of 15th century Spain contain sharp criticism aimed against Jews, Conversos, and courtiers of Jewish descent. The themes in the "cancioneros" were used as evidence in the trials of the Inquisition. The main subjects under attack in these songs were the continued observance of Jewish rituals by Crypto-Jews, and the Jews’ economic activities.
