Description: Volume I: This definitive work of Jewish historiography traces all aspects of life in the Spanish-Jewish community from the eleventh century to 1492. From the transformation of Spain from a Moorish to a Christian country to the expulsion of Spanish-Jewish citizens, Baer weaves together history, art, economics, politics and more to explore the influence of the Jewish people on Spain.

Volume II: In the second volume of his classic exploration of the Spanish-Jewish community, Baer covers such major historical events as the Spanish Inquisition and the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain. This work examines the effect of church policy on the Jewish population in the 15th century, and the points at which Jewish culture as a whole was altered by Spain's actions
