CORPI has been dedicated to studying early modern Iberia’s singular social and religious trajectory, focusing in particular on the far-reaching effects of the mass forced conversions of Jews and Muslims that had taken place since the end of the 14th century and culminated a century later with the forced conversion and expulsion of Jews (1492) and of Muslims (1502). During this crucial period, Iberia was transformed from the religiously plural society that it had been during the Middle Ages into a monoconfessional one.
