Christopher Columbus and the Participation of the Jews in the Spanish and Portuguese Discoveries

Based on his research of Spanish archives, Kayserling shows that marranos, who attempted to shield themselves and their families from the antisemitic violence of the Spanish Inquisition by outwardly professing Christianity, were an integral part of the European colonization of the Americas. He presents evidence that Luis de Torres, who sailed with Columbus in 1492, was a marrano.
