Excerpt from The Jews of Spain and Portugal and the Inquisition The struggles of the Mohammedans and the Christians for supremacy had for centuries excited the minds of the Spaniards, and imbued them with a crusading spirit which would tolerate no dissidence in matters of religion, and this feeling was easily worked upon by the clergy, in regard to a numerous and thriving community, which remained utterly without the pale of the Christian Church. Measures of restriction were followed by efforts at conversion on a scale of unprecedented magni tude, till such efforts grew into a persecution, and, still failing to attain the desired end, culminated in the edict of banishment.
