“…In his pioneering work on the subject, Cantera Burgos pointed out that the Cancionero de Baena (Dutton PN1) was a veritable document of the coexistence of the three religions on the medieval Iberian Peninsula ("la entremezclada convivencia de gentes de las tres religiones entonces existentes en España" 1967, 80). This assessment was clearly in tune with Américo Castro's heterodox definition of medieval Iberian decades (Nirenberg 2006, 8-12;Soifer Irish 2009, 19-22;discussion in Szpiech 2013, Novikoff 2005, and Abate 2019. For our purposes, this historiographical dispute will be consciously avoided, since it seems to be irrelevant to our primary goal: attempting to assess if, in analyzing the evolution of Iberian Jews and conversos, cancioneros can be used as a legitimate historical source, witnessing either to that idyllic convivencia or to its constant deterioration.…”

This chapter presents the significance of both Spanish cancioneros and Portuguese cancioneiros for the scholarly examination of medieval Jewish history and literature on the Iberian Peninsula. Through a close integration of historiographical and literary analysis, all major cancioneros are examined and contextualized based on exemplary interpretations. The chapter is divided into six parts. The first part explains the importance of the historical context of warfare in the development of late medieval Iberian cultures. The second part presents Cancionero de Baena and Cancionero de Palacio as the two initial stepping stones of the new poetic style and their connection with the problems endured by both Jews and conversos. The third part explains the evolution that occurred during the reign of Enrique IV (1454-1474), while the fourth part is focused on the reign of the Catholic Monarchs (1474-1504) and on how the Castilian cancioneros can serve as proof of the issues endured by Jewish and converso populations during those uncertain times. The fifth part analyzes the influence of the expulsion of the Jews and of the Inquisition by examining the paramount example of Castilian poetry, the Cancionero general (1511), by Hernando del Castillo. Finally, the sixth part is centered on the expulsion of the Jews from Portugal, showing how this is reflected in the Cancioneiro geral (1516), by Garcia de Resende.

“…Assessing the social and religious development in al-Andalus during that period, many modern historians launch a debate on the existence of different religious and cultural groups and their harmonious social interaction. Some assert that what is popularly known as convivencia is typically Iberian phenomenon (Abate, 2018).…”

This article attempts to explore the intricate socio-religious relations in Cordoba during the Umayyad period which was marked by unprecedented cultural vibrancy and intellectual ferment. Situated at the crossroads of diverse faiths—Islam, Christianity, and Judaism—Cordoba exemplified a remarkable coexistence that transcended religious boundaries. This article contends that the city's unique confluence of cultures, fostered by a spirit of tolerance, not only defined its historical identity but also served as a paradigm for interfaith harmony, intellectual exchange, and cultural synthesis. Examining the complicated interplays between social and religious elements, this article unravels the complexities of coexistence, conflict, and collaboration, illustrating how Cordoba's inclusive ethos propelled advancements in reciprocal peaceful co-existence. Beyond its medieval walls, the lasting legacy of Cordoban society provides a compelling historical precedent for fostering understanding, tolerance, and cooperation in an increasingly interconnected world.
