Abstract

This study focuses on Abraham Bienveniste, one of the most prominent Jewish figures in Castile in the first half of the fifteenth century in his triple role as Chief Rabbi of the Castilian Jews, royal treasurer, and tax farmer of the royal fisc. Throughout this study, Abraham Bienveniste emerges as a central figure in the complex political framework of Castile in the twenties and thirties of the fifteenth century, and is a fundamental part of the history of Castilian Judaism in the period between the 1391 persecutions and the expulsion of 1492.
