Abstract
In this article I identify the author of the well-known and often quoted clandestine manuscript Porta Veritatis that amply circulated in England from 1650-1700, while at the same time I attempt at identifying its date of composition, and its original language. This article also aims at placing the author and the text in the context of their time, the decades around 1620-1650, a fundamental period of the history of the Jews and the New Christians, but also a time of controversies in terms of confessions, which brought a large instability in all the places relevant to the Porta Veritatis and its author: from Portugal to Tuscany, from Venice to Jerusalem, from Holland to England.
期刊介绍：
La «Nuova Rivista Storica» fu fondata nel 1917 da Corrado Barbagallo: era in corso la prima guerra mondiale ed è probabile che quanto avveniva nel nostro paese e in tutta l’Europa sia stato determinante nel condizionarne il programma che fu pensato «un po’ diverso da quello comune alle altre riviste storiche» (Il nostro programma, firmato La Redazione, fasc.1, a. 1 gennaio-marzo 1917). In esso si auspicava infatti di poter «esercitare una speciale azione nell’ambito della nostra cultura storiografica: quella che nel pensiero dei suoi ideatori è parsa la più conforme ai bisogni dell’ora che volge».
