Description: Describes the position of the Jews in Spain in the 15th century, including discussion of disputations between representatives of Jews and Christians (particularly converted Jews who were eager to attack the Jewish religion), the population's hatred of the Conversos, and racist theories propagated during the reign of Isabella. Focuses on the role of the Inquisition, on blood libel trials, on host desecration accusations, and on the edict of expulsion in 1492. Pp. 217-285 of the 1991 edition contain an essay, written especially for this edition, on the life and work of Valeriu Marcu by Andrei Corbea, also analyzing the similarity between persecution of Jews in 1492 and during the Nazi regime.
