Judaísmo, erasmismo y otras corrientes espiritualesuna encrucijada de caminos

Abstract

The Influence of Erasmianism, and Other Currents of Spiritual Thought: A Criss-crossing of Paths. Its reflection in golden texts printed in Spain and the Sephardic Diaspora. Over the course of decades, numerous scholars have sought to specify the details of sixteenth-century Spanish spirituality. Several scholars have focused on the influence of Erasmus; others, on the peculiar nature of the alumbrados. No scholar, however, failed to see the Jewish component that shaped and perhaps made singular the spiritual thought in the period. The spirituality of the New Christians of Jewish descent and that of reform movements intersecred, and this criss-crossing left its mark not only on religious texts, but also on more properly literary ones, both in Spain and in the Sephardic Diaspora during the Golden Age.
