“…It was, therefore, impossible to prove its antiquity. 24 Morales' skepticism on whether the first language of Spain could ever be retrieved, did not preclude him, however, from participating in discussions on the origins of the label 'Spain' , or Hispania, itself, a topic which had been in dispute ever since the seventh century, when Isidore of had traced it to the word Hispanus, a corruption of the name Hispalus, the legendary founder of the city of Hispalis (now known as Seville).25 The majority of authors who endeavored to decipher the identity of the Peninsula's first settlers contended with this issue. In many instances the interpretations that they offered served as a cornerstone to their broader theory of origins and as a pivotal moment explaining Spain's subsequent development.…”

“…26 Morales' and Valdés' preference for the Greek theory of origins, however, was not destined to be the final word on the subject. For many, as Ocampo's controversial genealogies had shown, the postdiluvian and most ancient 24 Mayáns, Orígenes de la lengua, p. 49. dwellers of Spain had to be traced directly to Noah's progeny. The problem became, then, determining what language the Patriarch's descendants had spoken and whether they had maintained their speech intact upon reaching Spain.…”

“…The first attempted to eradicate it altogether, while the others desired to do the same. The former looked for or created occasions 24 'el Provisor te dixo, que si a ti bolviesse que me preguntases quien eran aquellos Mártires de quien yo te avia tratado. The author of these lines, Martín de Roa, was a zealous defender of the greatness of Andalusia's Christian past.…”

“…León was not the only anti-Islamic polemical author to express such ideas; other authors, like Bernardo Pérez de Chinchón in his Antialcorano, wrote in similar terms.23 Such authors insisted that the Moriscos did not know their own religion. 24 León argues in a fictitious dialogue with a Muslim that it is not a good thing to follow one's parents if they are in error, as are the Gentiles or the Jews, but to use reason.25 To this the Muslim says that Christians also follow the faith of their parents, but León argues that they are not Christians because their parents were, but because they follow 'truth' , 'the true law' .26 León devotes a long passage of development to this point, no doubt with the intention of arousing horror in the reader or listener with the examples he offers of awful things that parents can do: to what extent are we to follow our parents' beliefs and behavior? It is at this point that he discusses parents who kill their children, fathers who practice sodomy and so on.…”

AcknowledgementsThis book is based on papers delivered on three panels, with the general title of Conversion and its Intellectual Consequences in Early Modern Iberia, at the meeting of the Renaissance Society of America held in New York in March 2014. Four scholars, including a discussant, took part in each of the three panels. The aim of these panels was to give members of the CORPI project ('Con version, Overlapping Religiosities, Polemics and Interaction: Early Modern Iberia and Beyond' , ERC Grant Agreement number 323316), whose PI is Mercedes García-Arenal, the opportunity to present their work and discuss it with American colleagues before an international audience. It was also an opportunity for senior scholars to engage in dialogue with early stage researchers. In addition to the papers given on these panels (Kimmel, Rodríguez Mediano, Beaver, Tommasino, Wiegers, Szpiech, Pastore, García-Arenal, Pereda), this volume contains a further two papers (Vincent-Cassy and López Fadul) presented on other panels at the same meeting of the RSA that have clear affinities with our own work. Finally, two more contributions by CORPI members (Soto and Starczewska, Fowler) were added to round out the thematic issues presented and discussed at the RSA.We would therefore like to express our deepest gratitude on the one hand to the Renaissance Society of America fo...

“…During the trial of Jerónimo de Rojas by the Inquisition in Toledo between 1601 and 1603 de Luna is accused of being Crypto-Muslim. 5 Apparently, de Luna had been leading a secret second life as Crypto-Muslim and alfaquí of the Morisco community. 6 This accusation, despite its severity, bore no consequences for de Luna.…”
