Abstract

Analyzes both Quevedo's manuscript and its presentation by the editors (F. Cabo Aseguinolaza and S. Fernández Mosquera) of the recent first edition of the text (Barcelona, 1996). The antisemitism of Quevedo (1580-1645) was qualified either as central and obsessive or as marginal, a mere tool. His book, written in 1633 against the Portuguese Conversos in Spain, is full of accusations of profanation of Christian values, alliance with the Dutch enemy, and a Jewish world conspiracy, but lacks any racial references. States that the editors do not relate to the phenomenon as to a sample of the genre of antisemitic literature, but consider it in its historical context as part of Quevedo's conservative ideology, opposed to materialism and modernism incarnated by Jews, and an expression of his criticism of the philosemitic policy of the Count-Duke of Olivares. also questions the indiscriminate use of the word "Jew" for Converso in the introduction.
