Gedalya (1526-1587), considered by many scholars merely as a simplistic eclectic author, content with commonplace material from a few well-known chronicles, was not simply an undiscriminating copyst; rather, as we see especially in the examples cited from the part of his work concerning the persecution of Iberian Jews, Gedalya attempted to supplement and enrich the bare facts with new information based on additional Jewish and non-Jewish sources. Gedalya's aim was to provide information based upon his understanding of the situation and upon personal observation. These aspects determine his place in sixteenth century Jewish historiography.
