 | | A Venetian Diplomat in the 15th Century Lithuania | | | ALBERT C. Some time ago, I was looking through a history of Lithuania1 which had belonged to my father-in-law, Joseph Ambraziejus, a well-known leader in the underground movement for Lithuanian independence during the first decade of this century. | | | Thoroughly hooked by now, I went on to the text in the history which reproduced in Lithuanian those parts of a lengthy travel narrative by Ambrogio dealing with his official visit to the court of Casimir IV, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. |

| | The Origins of the Inquisition in 15th Century Spain (review) |
| | Jews were similarly driven out of many other European lands: In 1492 they were expelled from Sicily and Sardinia, in 1496 from Portugal, in 1541 from Naples, and in 1596 Pope Pius V expelled the Jews from the Papal territories. | | | But they gradually returned, this time posing as Catholics, and only removed their disguise after the conclusion of official negotiations under Oliver Cromwell. | | | As a result, the converso could still be recognized -- even several generations after his ancestors' conversion -- by his Jewish appearance, his habits and mannerisms, his attitudes and reactions, as well as his views on a variety of issues. |
