Dr. Abramson, your lectures are wonderful. You once wondered when did the last secret Muslims leave Spain/ Portugal? I believe it was 1614. (In comparison, I think the last secret Jews left in 1558.) FYI Originally, the Spanish Catholic authorities placed all New Christians in the same boat.. Only later were they placed into marrano/ morisco groups. See the attacks on Cervantes as an example. Finally, I view 711-1492 as A Golden Age of Spain, Islam and Judaism.
Dear Dr. Henry Abramson, thank you for this great lecture. I have a coment though. Jews were in north Africa by all means not the only minority. Egypt had in the 15 century up to 30% Christians and today even up to 18% Christians, besides of Muslims
Dom Rabbi Isaac ABRAVANEL was Portuguese! Not Spanish! He was born and raised in Portugal like his all 4 children! And his wife Rabbanite Rebeca was born in Portugal also! Nobody is Spanish in them! His was of third generation as Portuguese citizen ... - For the girl question : actually it was "DOM" in Portuguese its "M" at the end not an "N" ! and yes it means lord as his paternal grandfather Samuel ABRAVANEL (Juan SANCHEZ) who was a Minister in Spain who left it for Portugal ! He was married to to Juana RODRIGUEZ DE MONROY who was descendant of a Hititte King ! She was of non-Jewish origin and converted to Judaism) So as a descendant of a King she was a LADY so Samuel as getting married to a Nobleman maybe his tittle ''Dom" by marriage!? - Dom Isaac had 4 children : Juda, Ester, Josef, Samuel. 3 sons and 1 daughter. - also you didn t mention the Moroccan Sephardic Jewish who were Arabic-speaking and suffering in Morocco and Dom Rabbi Isaac ABRAVANEL saved that community and brought them in Portugal !
You are really right!!! And his son Judah Abravanel , " Leone Ebreo " was very good known in Italy where he lived in Venice....The Abravanel family was a Judeo-Castillian family...and in 1390, the flew to Portugal....an anecdote...a grandson of the great isaac Abravanel, was captain David ( from the movie, pirates of the Carribean )...David Abravanel....the greatings from Amsterdam from a Castellano
Thank you Rabbi for your research and your time 😊🕎⚘
