Jews in the Canary Islands
In 1492, the Jews of Spain were given a choice: convert to Christianity or be expelled from Spain. Many chose to hide themselves as 'New Christians, ' or conversos, outwardly professing to be Christians while practicing their true faith in secret. In 1504, the Office of the Inquisition was set up in the remote Spanish holdings on the Canary Islands to seek out crypto-Jews, sorcerers, and other heretics. Jews in the Canary Islands is a calendar of Jewish cases brought before the Canariote Inquisition between 1499 and 1818, when the Inquisition was discontinued. First published in 1926, together with an introduction analysing the work of the Inquisition and explaining its relation to general Jewish history until 1928, this is a fascinating collection of records showing not only the workings of the Inquisition, but the lives of crypto-Jews during a time of fierce repression.
On Savage Shores
AN ECONOMIST AND SMITHSONIAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • A landmark work of narrative history that shatters our previous Eurocentric understanding of the Age of Discovery by telling the story of the Indigenous Americans who journeyed across the Atlantic to Europe after 1492 We have long been taught to presume that modern global history began when the "Old World" encountered the "New", when Christopher Columbus “discovered” America in 1492. But, as Caroline Dodds Pennock conclusively shows in this groundbreaking book, for tens of thousands of Aztecs, Maya, Totonacs, Inuit and others—enslaved people, diplomats, explorers, servants, traders—the reverse was true: they discovered Europe.

Conquest
Drawing on newly discovered sources and writing with brilliance, drama, and profound historical insight, Hugh Thomas presents an engrossing narrative of one of the most significant events of Western history. Ringing with the fury of two great empires locked in an epic battle, Conquest captures in extraordinary detail the Mexican and Spanish civilizations and offers unprecedented in-depth portraits of the legendary opponents, Montezuma and Cortés. Conquest is an essential work of history from one of our most gifted historians.

ORIGENS uma história genealógica
Como é dito na introdução, considere-se este livro uma aventura genealógica. Na sua elaboração foi-se tão longe quanto as fontes disponíveis o permitiram. Considere-se igualmente que o autor não é um académico, um historiador, um investigador, mas tão somente um observador atento que sem recorrer ao apoio de profissionais se atreveu a reunir dados, ordenar e dar-lhe forma. Se o conseguiu com êxito, os eventuais leitores o dirão. Aqui faz-se a reconstituição de sucessivas gerações de antepassados, percorrendo, nalguns casos, cerca de quinhentos anos. Fica a perceber-se a multiplicidade de origem geográfica das gentes de Santiago do Escoural, a génese das famílias formadas, em muitos casos por casamento entre parentes mais ou menos próximos. Não é à toa que existe a popular expressão na aldeia todos são primos e primas.
