Aus Will Durant „The Reformation“ S. 217f.
On March 30,1492 Ferdinand an Isabella signed the edict of exile. All unbaptized Jews (Anm. ca 235 000), of whatever age or condition, were to leave Spain by July 31, and were never to return, on penalty of death. In this brief period they might dispose of their property at whatever price they could obtain. They might take with them movable goods and bills of exchange, but no currency, silver, or gold. Abraham Senior and Isaac Abrabanel offered the sovereigns a large sum to withdraw the edict, but Ferdinand and Isabella refused. No royal accusation was made against the Jews, except their tendency to lure Conversos back to Judaism.
Und jetzt ein Leckerbissen für Dottore...
A supplementary edict required that taxes to the end of the year should be paid on all Jewish property and sales.
