Title : La Senora - Catherine Clément - Book
Summary :
Hunted by the Inquisition, driven from Lisbon, Antwerp, Venice, and Ferrara, Dona Gracia Nasi, known as La Senora, confronted the Habsburgs, the Pope, and the Republic of Venice in 16th-century Europe, torn apart by religious quarrels, before finding asylum in the Ottoman Empire. Born among the "Marranos," the Jews of Spain and Portugal forced to convert, she used her fortune to help victims of intolerance; she commissioned the "Ferrara Bible," in Judeo-Spanish, which was dedicated to her. She died in Palestine. Around this historical figure who has become legendary, Catherine Clément resurrects an entire era, where romantic adventures and theological quarrels mingle with the secrets of finance and diplomacy.
