Description

Discusses the contributions of the Jews and Conversos to the voyages of Christopher Columbus and other explorers. Surveys the establishment of the Inquisition in 1481 and its effect on Conversos, some of whom were involved in financing expeditions (e.g. the family of Luis de Santangel). Contends that Columbus's expedition was connected to the expulsion of the Jews in 1492.
