Abstract

Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo undertook a policy directed to the religious uniformity, which will affect to the Hispanic Jews creating a whole polemicist literature and a tragic legal representation on the antijewish rules which were contained in Leges Visigothorum and Concilia. But, how did the hagiographical writers know the social and juridical reality of the Hispanic Jews?; what vision on the Jews presents hagiographical literature to us? That paper tries to bring the hagiographical texts to observe the image of the jews in the Hispania of late Antiquity and their relation with the christians.
