Abstract

The article focuses on the largely overlooked mass conversion of Jews in Spain during the late 1300s and early 1400s, shedding light on a significant but lesser-known event in Jewish history. Topics include the historical context of the mass conversion, the factors leading to it, and the aftermath, including the impact on Jewish communities and the complex identities of the converted Jews, known as conversos.
