This book presents the most recent scholarship on the sixteenth-century convert Johannes Pfefferkorn and his context. Pfefferkorn is the most (in)famous of the converts from Judaism who wrote descriptions of Jewish ceremonial life and shaped both Christian ideas about Judaism and the course of anti-Jewish polemics in the early modern period. Rather than just rehearsing the better-known aspects of Pfefferkorn’s life and the controversy with Johannes Reuchlin, this volume re-evaluates the motives behind his activities and writings as well as his role and success in the context of Dominican anti-Jewish polemics and Imperial German politics. Furthermore, it discusses other converts, who similarly "revealed the secrets of the Jews", and contains detailed studies of the campaigns against the Talmud and other Jewish books as well as the diffusion of Pfefferkorn's books and other anti-Jewish writings throughout early modern Europe. Revealing the Secrets of the Jews thus presents new perspectives on Jewish-Christian relations, the study of religion and Christian Hebraism, and the history of anthropology and ethnography.

Ce livre retrace l'histoire de la conversion des musulmans, de la fin de la Reconquête jusqu à l'expulsion de quelque 300 000 morisques, descendants des convertis, un siècle plus tard. Pour la première fois, l'intégration forcée d'une population de non-chrétiens, réalisée selon des règles juridiques forgées dans la persécution des juifs au Moyen Âge, fut un échec. Alors que les morisques s'efforçaient d'échapper aux expulsions et à l'Inquisition en gardant leur foi et leurs moeurs, la société chrétienne voulut éliminer les traces de l'islam sans donner aux convertis l'égalité des droits. La politique de conversion hésita entre répression et pédagogie, volontarisme et découragement. Son échec, constaté à l'époque par les historiens et les théologiens, favorisa l'émergence d'une réflexion sur l'usage de la contrainte en matière de foi qui conserve encore aujourd'hui toute son actualité.
