Vicente Ferrer and the Kings' Jews: Reassessing the Modern Image of a Medieval Dominican Open Access
Hatch, Michael Sean (2011)
Abstract
In recent years, the historiography of the persecution of
late-medieval Iberian Jewry has shifted
towards an emphasis on local economic, social, and political
pressures, rather than a teleological
understanding of persecution as a constant. However, Vicente
Ferrer, a preacher from Valencia,
is singled out as one of the principal figures in the persecution
of Jews across Iberia, and this
image ignores the influence that communal pressures had on the
Jewish experience. Historians
emphasize too much the impact of Ferrer's preaching, and this
investigation aims, with an
emphasis on sermons delivered in Castile from 1411-12, to more
accurately interpret Ferrer's
impact on Iberian Jewish communities.
