Castro, La realidad, 51. The translation is by King (527). Albert A. Sicrofff, Los estatutos
de limpieza de sangre, trans. Mauro Armiño (Madrid: Taurus, 1985), 116, note 98. Sicrofff
asserts that, rather than referring to purity of blood, this responsa “se trata más bien del
honor de una familia, reivindicado por la decisión de un tribunal rabínico” (“actually deals
with the honor of one family, which was vindicated by the decision of a rabbinic tribu-
nal”). Unless otherwise indicated, all translations are my own.
