In 2005 William S. Kurtz published an article in Spanish, "Judíos en Badajoz: algunas notas a partir de la documentación del Archivo Catedralicio de Badajoz", about the Jews of the town of Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain, according to the documents of the Archives of the Cathedral of Badajoz. They are Jews from the 13th century until 1492. Their synagogue, jewry, cemetery and one rabbi are also mentioned. And there is a little study too of the people who was condemned for Judaism by the Inquisition in Badajoz in the 16th century. This is its abstract: "This article examines the documents, mainly from the archives of the Cathedral of Badajoz (Spain), pertaining to the Jewish community present in this city from the XIIIth century to 1492. Most information here contained was previously unknown, and therefore this Jewish community is for the first time documented as such. The article also documents what is known about the pressures the local jewry was submitted to before its expulsion, and the persecution against judaisizing new-christians in this city. A preliminary sociological analysis is done on the data about these persecuted individuals to examine their degree of integration in the mainstream society and some factors of why they were persecuted are explained."
