A lecture by Emily Michelson (St Andrews).
The 16th-century conversionary campaign against Jews took place largely in public, in the presence of many kinds of onlookers. Nowhere was conversion a greater spectacle than at forced sermons. This talk traces the journeys of the three main populations who converged at conversionary sermons in the early 1580s: Jews, Neophytes, and Christians. It blends an examination of urban renewal with religious questions to recreate the moment when public interest fixed on this new spectacle.
