This book brings together the work of scholars who are exploring the entanglement of traditions and identities among the three major religio-ethnic groups in early modern Spain. The contributions reveal a broad shift in early modern Spanish historiography in recent decades. This text challenges a traditional conception according to which the historical trajectories of "Old Christians," judeo-conversos (henceforth "conversos"), and moriscos (baptized Muslims and their descendants) were essentially separate. This volume appeals to students and researchers working in such fields of religious studies.

​Miriam Bodian is a historian of early modern Jewish cultural history. Her research interests include Iberian Jewry, Inquisition studies, and European Jewry in the Reformation period. She joined the faculty of the UT History Department in 2009, and is an affiliate of the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies there. Her book Hebrews of the Portuguese Nation: Conversos and Community in Early Modern Amsterdam (1997) won two major book awards. It deals with identity issues in a Jewish community whose members had fled from Iberian lands where they were forced to live as Christians. Her book Dying in the Law of Moses: Crypto-Jewish Martyrdom in Iberian Lands (2007) studies the careers of a set of celebrated "judaizing" martyrs who drew inspiration from Reformation currents.
