Originally published in 1494 by the prolific Zaragozan printer Pablo Hurus, this beautifully illustrated devotional offers the modern reader a glimpse into the complex social world of late fifteenth-century Spain. Li's converso identity permeates his retelling of the Passion through expositions on hypocrisy, anti-Semitism, and false faith. This new, modernized edition of the Thesoro de la passion dramatically illustrates the unique confluence of social, religious, and cultural forces present during the emergence of Spain's national identity via analyses of the Thesoro 's Classical, Castilian, and Catalan sources, its importance as an early printed book, Li's portrayal of the Virgin Mary, Christ, and the Passion events, and the importance of Li's converso perspectives throughout the work. |
