It tries to understand what motivated this vast literary production, its different currents, and how they evolved. Additionally, it studies the image of New Christians and seeks the reasons for the perpetuation of this perception of Jewish descendants in the Early Modern Portuguese world. The Imaginary Synagogue seeks to identify which Jews and which ‘synagogue’ those authors constructed in their texts and their reasons for doing so, and offers conclusions on the self-affirmed Catholic importance of this literary current.Medieval and early modern Iberian world ;volume 61.Portuguese literatureHistory and criticismJews in literatureJudaism in literatureAntisemitismPortugalHistoryJewsPortugalCivilizationInfluencePortuguese literatureHistory and criticism.Jews in literature.Judaism in literature.AntisemitismHistory.JewsCivilizationInfluence.869.09/38296Feitler Bruno1143174O'Neil EoinMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797588303321The imaginary Synagogue3860992UNINA
