Recounts events surrounding the recovery, in 2017, of a sixteenth-century biographical manuscript by Luis de Carvajal the Younger, a crypto-Jew executed by the Inquisition in colonial Mexico.



Trade Review

“People interested in Jewish and Latin American history will most enjoy Stavans’s study, which for all its scrupulous research leaves the central mystery tantalizingly unsolved.”

—Publishers Weekly


“This book will be of interest to crypto-Jewish collections and potentially also to library science collections.”

—Shmuel Ben-Gad Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews
