When the King of Portugal married the Princess of Spain, daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, he changed his policies and forced the conversion of the newly arrived Jews of Portugal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Towards the end of the 16th-century and into the 17th-century, thousands of &#8220;New Christians\u201d took advantage of the newly eased travel restrictions between the Iberian Peninsula and the countries beyond it and emigrated to Western Europe and the New World. Upon arrival in their new communities, many chose to openly return to Judaism and the tradition of their forefathers. Those who returned to the old faith dealt with many questions on their journey, including: How does one revive a once forbidden culture, relearn lost religious practices and revive a language that has been long forgotten?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the return of many Spanish Jews to their heritage, there was a sudden demand for translation of Jewish texts.\u00a0 A great number of Jewish texts, including Halakhic and ethical treatises, prayer books and even the \u201cBook of Books,\u201d the Hebrew Bible, were translated into Spanish and Portuguese over the course of the 16th and 17th centuries. One major project of this sort was the first complete Jewish translation of the Hebrew Bible into Spanish, printed in Ferrara in 1553.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Making the Books of Jewish Heritage Accessible\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Holy Bible in the Spanish tongue.
