    Il personaggio del “judío” nel teatro spagnolo del XVII secolo

    No full text
    About one hundred comedies composed by playwrights of the “Siglo de Oro” present “judíos” as protagonists. The presence of this character is conditioned by the marginalization that the Jewish community lives in the peninsula from 1492, when professing the Jewish religion became a crime punishable by the courts. In subsequent years, the persecution reaches even the “conversos”, because of “estatutos de limpieza de sangre”. In this historical context, it is evident the heterogeneity of the treatment of Jews in the theater determined by the kind of works in which they are the protagonists such as biblical dramas, “contemporary” dramas, or medieval dramas
