Transcription: The Inquisition in Spain was notorious for both its scope and fury, as well as for its focus on Jewish converts to Christianity who continued to practice Judaism. The Inquisition was not authorized to prosecute unconverted Jews, but head Inquisitor Torquemada persuaded Isabella to banish from Spain all Jews who refused to convert. The Jews were exiled on August 2nd, 1492, the same day Columbus began his voyage.
