A REASON FOR THE EXPULSION OF THE JEWS FROM SPAIN.

      “ The Holy Office of the Inquisition, seeing now some Christians are endangered by contact and communication with the Jews, has provided that the Jews be expelled from all our realms and territories, and has persuaded us to give our support and agreement to this, which we now do…. We do so despite the great harm to ourselves, seeking and preferring the salvation of souls above our own profit.”
