Focusing on the religious, social, and commercial networking of the western Sephardic Jewish diaspora and the 'New Christian' diaspora from the mid-sixteenth to mid-eighteenth century, this volume explores their significant roles within the major European maritime empires. It delves into diaspora formation, Sephardic social practices, and themes like crypto-Judaism and religious syncretism. The book presents new insights into how these diasporas contributed to European expansion and cross-cultural exchanges during a transformative period in history.
