FERRO (Maria José Pimenta). OS JUDEUS em Portugal no Século XIV. Lisboa. 1970. - FERRO (Maria José Pimenta) OS JUDEUS em Portugal no Século XIV . Lisboa: Instituto de Alta Cultura, 1970. 356 pp.; 250 mm. First edition, published by the Institute of Higher Culture through the Center for Historical Studies of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon, with a grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and a foreword by Virgínia Rau, director of that Center. It corresponds to the author's undergraduate dissertation, defended in 1969 at the Faculty of Letters of Lisbon, and which the Center for Historical Studies selected for publication as part of its plan to disseminate the most interesting academic works. This work constitutes the first in-depth study of Jewish communities in Portugal since the classic work of Joaquim Mendes dos Remédios, *Os Judeus em Portugal * (1895), systematically gathering and processing documentation relating to the organization, economic and social life, and legal status of Portuguese Jewish communities in the 14th century. It laid the groundwork for the author's extensive subsequent work on the history of Jews and New Christians in Portugal, which would be complemented by a similar study dedicated to the 15th century.
