The Expulsion of the Jews from Spain

Haim Beinart's The Expulsion of the Jews from Spain, published by the Littman Library of Jewish Civilization in 2002, is a scholarly history of the 1492 expulsion, written by a leading historian of Sephardic Jewry and the Spanish Inquisition. Its authority rests on standard academic press peer review and Beinart's decades of archival research into Inquisition and expulsion records specifically. It remains a standard scholarly reference on the expulsion's causes and mechanics, and its detailed archival grounding is its principal strength; it addresses the expulsion itself rather than the longer subsequent history of Sephardic diaspora communities, which other sources cover.
