Bag om Christopher Columbus And The Participation Of The Jews In The Spanish And Portuguese Discoveries

""Christopher Columbus and the Participation of the Jews in the Spanish and Portuguese Discoveries"" is a historical book written by Meyer Kayserling. The book explores the role of Jews in the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus and the Portuguese explorers. The author argues that Jews played a significant role in the exploration and colonization of the Americas, despite being persecuted and expelled from Spain and Portugal during the Inquisition. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the historical context of the time, including the political and religious tensions that existed in Spain and Portugal during the 15th and 16th centuries. Kayserling also examines the impact of the expulsion of Jews from these countries and how it affected the Jewish community's involvement in the exploration of the New World. The author also discusses the influence of Jewish scholars and philosophers on Columbus and other explorers, as well as the impact of Jewish financiers and merchants on the financing and logistics of these expeditions. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Jewish involvement in the exploration and colonization of the Americas, as well as the impact of religious persecution on the Jewish community during this time. It is a well-researched and informative read that sheds light on a little-known aspect of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
