- Summary:
- "What were the status, the size and the importance of the Jewish community in the kingdom of Portugal? What role did they play in its social and economic structure? What was the political manoeuvre that led to their downfall and how did the situation differ from the one in Spain? How were the New Christians perceived and treated by the Inquisition tribunal in Portugal and how did the New Christians such as Pedro Nunes, Garcia da Orta and Ribeiro Sanchez contribute to the Portuguese success in the fields of mathematics, navigation and science?"--Container.
