Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Durante el siglo xvii la comunidad sefardí de Amsterdam se constituyó en el eje principal del judaísmo hispanoportugués de Europa occidental. En su vida social e intelectual, ya en la temprana Edad Moderna, estos sefardíes anticiparon los cambios mentales y los dilemas existenciales del judaísmo de los tiempos de la emancipación y la Ilustración. Prósperos comerciantes internacionales, con vínculos económicos que se extendían desde Europa occidental al nordeste brasileño y a la zona del Caribe, formaron en Amsterdam una poderosa élite social. Entre ellos encontramos al barón Antonio Lopes Sausso, el más acaudalado miembro de la comunidad, cuyo hijo, Francisco, subvencionó en 1688 la famosa travesía de Guillermo III a Inglaterra. También se establecieron allí los hermanos Pinto y los Pereyra. Abraham Israel Pereyra, asentista en Madrid durante el reinado de Felipe IV, destacó en Amsterdam por sus intensas actividades económicas. Entre muchas otras figuras importantes encontramos nombres como Gerónimo Nunes da Costa, agente de la corona portuguesa o Manuel de Belmonte, agente del rey de España. Estos magnates, que emulaban en sus hábitos y gustos estéticos a la aristocracia europea, eran también generosos mecenas de escritores y patronos de academias literarias. La afluencia de importantes representantes de distintas religiones fomentó además las polémicas teológicas y nuevas interpretaciones del Antiguo Testamento. Amsterdam fue en el siglo xvii el principal centro de impresión y difusión del libro judío, y uno de los editores, Castro Tartas, publicó entre 1672 y 1702 el primer periódico editado por judíos, la Gazeta de Amsterdam , en lengua castellana. El presente estudio da una idea plástica y multifacética del período culminante de los sefardíes de Amsterdam, mostrando hasta qué punto los rasgos judaicos permanecieron entrelazados en muchos aspectos con la cultura ibérica en la construcción del mundo sociocultural e intelectual de estos primeros judíos modernos. Yosef Kaplan, es catedrático de Historia judía medieval y moderna en la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén. Especialista en la historia del judaísmo sefardí occidental, publicó numerosos estudios sobre la historia social e intelectual de las comunidades judías hispanoportuguesas de la Edad Moderna. Es autor de From Christianity to Judaism. The Story of Isaac Orobio de Castro (hebreo: Jerusalén 1983; inglés: Oxford 1989); La diáspora sefardí occidental (hebreo: Tel Aviv 1994). *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback. Condition: New. In Blood and Boundaries, Stuart B. Schwartz takes us to late medieval Latin America to show how Spain and Portugal's policies of exclusion and discrimination based on religious origins and genealogy were transferred to their colonies in Latin America. Rather than concentrating on the three principal divisions of colonial society-Indians, Europeans, and people of African origins-as is common in studies of these colonial societies, Schwartz examines the three minority groups of moriscos, conversos, and mestizos. Muslim and Jewish converts and their descendants, he shows, posed a special problem for colonial society: they were feared and distrusted as peoples considered ethnically distinct, but at the same time their conversion to Christianity seemed to violate stable social categories and identities. This led to the creation of "cleanliness of blood" regulations that explicitly discriminated against converts. Eventually, Schwartz shows, those regulations were extended to control the subject indigenous and enslaved African populations, and over time, applied to the growing numbers of mestizos, peoples of mixed ethnic origins. Despite the efforts of civil and church and state institutions to regulate, denigrate, and exclude, members of these affected groups often found legal and practical means to ignore, circumvent, or challenge the efforts to categorize and exclude them, creating in the process the dynamic societies of Latin America that emerged in the nineteenth century.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Isaac Orobio de Castro, a crypto-Jew from Portugal, was one of the most prominent intellectual figures of the Sephardi Diaspora in the seventeenth century. After studying medicine and theology in Spain, and having pursued a distinguished medical career, he was arrested by the Spanish Inquisition for practising Judaism, tortured, tired, and imprisoned. He subsequently emigrated to France and became a professor of medicine at the University of Toulouse before openly professing his Judaism and going to Amsterdam where he joined the thriving Portuguese Jewish community. Amsterdam was then a city of great cultural creativity and religious pluralism where Orobio found open to him the world of religious thinkers and learned scholars. In this atmosphere he flourished and became an outstanding spokesman and apologist for the Jewish community. He engaged in controversy with Juan de Prado and Baruch Spinoza, who were both excommunicated by the Portuguese Jewish community, as well as with Christian theologians of various sects and denominations, including Philip van Limborch.This fascinating biography of Orobio sheds light on the complex life of a unique Jewish community of former Christians who had openly returned to Judaism. It focuses on the particular dilemmas of the converts, their attempts to establish boundaries between their Christian past and their new identity, their internal conflicts, and their ability to create new forms of Jewish life and expression.…
