I am working on creating a master list of books on the Inquisition, Conversos, etc. and will eventually organize these into the appropriate categories and add these to a separate page on the website.
The following is a list that readers may find interesting.
I have not read Maria-Theresa Hernandez’s books yet, but have heard her speak twice at the SCJS (Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies conference). Both presentations were very interesting. The books by Renee Melammed, Richard L. Kagan, Haim Beinart, and David L. Graizbord are well known.
Many of the other titles are interesting and I hope to add them to my collection over time. If you have read any of them and wish to post a review, feel free to contact me and I will gladly post with proper attribution.
