Description

For years this brilliant fifteenth-century carpet has bedazzled experts and visitors alike. In this original study of the private lives of the noble family who commissioned the carpet, and of the weavers who wove it, it is clear that neither were Christians they were secret Jews, conversos. In the hundred years leading up to the expulsion of 1492, hundreds of thousands of Spanish Jews converted publicly, but not privately, to Christianity. But they left us some clues to their dangerous secret lives: their artefacts, of which the Vizcaya carpet is a prime example, their literature and contemporary accounts, as well as the trial and tax records of church and king reveal their compelling story.
