"Twenty years of research in the original Inquisition documents in the Vatican archives and the national archives of Spain, Portugal and Latin American nations resulted in this first full-length book on the Marranos, or secret Jews, of Latin America and the Caribbean Islands up to 1825. The relationships with the Jews of Italy, Turkey, and other places are included in this remarkable revelation of an until now unknown segment of Jewish history." - dust jacket. Address label of noted Texas historian Natalie Ornish [1926-2016] affixed inside front board. In 1988, following twelve years of research, Ornish published 'Pioneer Jewish Texans - Their Impact on Texas and American History for 400 Years, 1590-1990'. This was the first comprehensive history of Jews in Texas, from Jewish Spanish conquistadors of the 1500s to modern times. Thus, Liebman's research would have been of considerable interest to her.
