Remembering Sepharad
Jewish culture in Medieval Spain : Washington National Cathedral, May 9-June 8, 2003
by Isidro Gonzalo Bango Torviso
Written to accompany an exhibition held at the Washington National Cathedral in 2003 (and in a more extensive version in Toledo, Spain previously), this catalogue provides a broad introduction to the lives of Jews in medieval Spain ("Sepharad" is the Hebrew word for Spain). Among the topics are aspects of daily life; the role of Jews in the arts and sciences; the political realities of life for Jews, Muslims, and Christians; a history of the Church's anti-Jewish policies, which result in the expulsion of the Jews in 1492; and the role of the Spanish Inquisition. All the chapters are well illustrated with good quality color plates. Distributed in North America by the U. of Washington Press for the State Corporation for Spanish Cultural Action Abroad.
