Illuminated book, Palacio de los Olvidados, Granada
A Granada y los Converses book, used as a blood cleansing process, to confirm nobility and christian virtue by listing acts carried out by its owner, from the collection of the Crespo Lopez family exhibited in the 16th century Palacio de los Olvidados or Palace of the Forgotten, in El Albayzin, the medieval Moorish old town of Granada, Andalusia, Southern Spain. The Palace is one of the few remaining old aristocratic houses in good condition, thought to belong to a Jew and now housing artefacts of Jewish culture and history.
