In 1341 in Aragon, a Jewish convert to Christianity described a Jewish conspiracy to persuade recent converts to denounce their newfound Christian faith. His claims became the catalyst for a series of trials that unfolded. Tartakoff closely analyzes these events, which she considers paradigmatic of inquisitorial proceedings against Jews in the period.
