Account of the Expulsion from Spain

This Hebrew account appears to have been drawn not from the personal experience of the author but from reports of Spanish Jewish exiles. The author does not recount his own exile but instead mentions large numbers of Jews who traversed the Iberian Peninsula. Toward the end, he provides some of the broader political landscape of these events and suggests that very few martyrs affirmed their Judaism to their deaths. The author seems to have lived in a country that offered refuge to Jews and demonstrates some knowledge of Italian conditions, suggesting that he lived in Italy.
