HISTORIA DE LOS JUDIOS Y LA JUDERIA CORDOBA

A unique narrative that combines historical analysis and reflection on heritage. History of the Jews and the Jewish Quarter of Córdoba brings the reader closer to the inhabited spaces, from the hypothetical Al-Andalus Jewish quarter to other places where those Cordoban Jews once lived. Following the Christian conquest of 1236, a new and repopulated Jewish quarter emerged, whose community revolved around the synagogue, and which would endure the dramatic events of the 1391 pogrom and the 1474 anti-convert riot, before their expulsion from the city in 1483. Focusing on the splendor of Córdoba, capital of al-Andalus and the "House of Sciences," it also explores the figures who, like Maimonides, contributed to the Hispanic-Jewish Golden Age--a cultural hub whose influence would be carried forward in the poetic and scientific vitality of Lucena. But this work also invites us to understand the Jewish quarter and the synagogue of Córdoba--one of the three existing on the Peninsula and among the first monuments protected by law--where layers of coexistence, conflict, and memory overlap, and whose history, far from being local, is the history of Spain, the Mediterranean, and Europe.
