Book Description
Converso and Morisco are the terms applied to those Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in large numbers and usually under duress in late medieval Spain. The Converso and Morisco Studies publications will examine the implications of these mass conversions for the converts themselves, for their heirs (also referred to as Conversos and Moriscos) and for medieval and modern Spanish and European culture. Volume two of the series focuses on the Moriscos, offering new perspectives on this elusive group’s social and religious character in the period leading up to its expulsion from Spain in 1609.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“An innovative approach to the conversos and moriscos themes as related socio-cultural phenomena in Spanish history. […] The thoughtful editing of Kevin Ingram succeeds in producing an interrelated set of essays while allowing for individual methods and interpretations. The editor has assembled a coherent collection of essays incorporating the changing perspectives that have emerged in converso and morisco studies”.
Raúl Marrero-Fente, University of Minnesota. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 65, No. 1 (January 2014), pp. 182-184.
”Recommended to both specialists and non-specialists, this collection provides a wide-ranging picture of recent scholarship on Moriscos and, more generally, of religious minorities in Spain. Ingram has done a commendable job in bringing together essays that inform common subjects […] The translation work by Nicola Stapleton and William Childers is admirable”.

”Dans l’ensemble, l’ouvrage répond clairment aux objectifs de départ, volotairment restreints, en s’appuyant sut des contributions très bien documentées qui viennent enirichi l’information de cette insatiable hisotire des morisques et des conversos dans la Péninsule ibérique”.
