First volume in the “Henry J. Leir Library of Sephardica: Text and Studies” series. A collection of papers presented at the international symposium “Jews of Spain and the Expulsion of 1492” held in April of 1992 at the University of Southern California, some of which were rewritten and expanded for this publication. The 14 works compiled in this book are: Coexistence and confrontation: Jews and Christian in medieval Spain, written by Norman Roth; The vicissitudes of Kabbalah in Catalonia, by Moshe Idel; A Crisis of categories: Kabbalah and the rise of Apostasy in Spain, by José Faur; The socio-economic structure of the Jewish Aljamas in the Kingdom of Aragon (1391-1492), by Miguel Angel Motis Dolader; The Jewish community in Murviedro, by Mark D. Meyerson; Jews, Castilian conversos, and the Inquisition (1482-1492), by Carlos Carrete Parrondo; Anti-Jewish and Anti-Converso propaganda: Confutatio libri talmud and Alboraique, by Moshe Lazar; The expulsion of the Jews as social process, by Stephen Haliczer; Facing crisis: The Catholic sovereigns, the expulsion and the Columbian expedition, by Marvin Lunenfeld; News about the Jewish community upon its departure, by Luis Suarez Fernandez Bilbao; Jews and Conversos in the region of Soria and Almazan: Departures and returns, by John Edwards; The urban Conversos in Spain after the expulsion, by Jaime Contreras; Dubious crimes in 16th century Italy: Rethinking the relations between Jews, Christians and Conversos in pre-modern Europe, by Roberto Bonfil; The theme of Spain in the Sephardic Haskalah’s literature, by Elena Romero. Profusely illustrated with numerous b/w reproductions of drawings and charts.

Fourteen specialists in medieval Spanish history used the incredible Spanish archives – still in existence – to describe the political, social, and economic affairs leading to the extraordinary edict forcing thousands of Jews to leave Spain.
