The Conversos of Majorca

This fifth volume in the Hispania Judaica series focuses, for the most part, on the conversos of 17th century Majorca – the so-called Chuetas, a phenomenon without parallel in all Spain. This study is based on a wealth of archival material from the records of the Inquisition in Spain and elsewhere including nearly one hundred complete Procesos (trial records) of 1677-1691. These offer the historian a uniquely valuable source of prime material.
