This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to
Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on
these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as
Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who
attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious
practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on
a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the
first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos),
through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical
movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos
become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends
at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards
Madrid's converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain's greatest
painter, Diego Velazquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally,
Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which
he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be
underexplored.
