Abstract


The expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 was preceded by the one from England (1290) and France (1394). In Christianity and in traditional Judaism, death was to be preferred to apostasy, but Islam accepted dissimulation when a serious danger threatened. In contrast with Askenazi attitude, the Sephardic Jews accepted Maimonides' opinion, influenced by the taqīya or muslim dissembling. The great plenty of false conversos led to the expulsion.
