The first complete series of records of trials by the Spanish Inquisition of a specific local group, the Conversos of Ciudad Real. The verbatim testimonies recorded by the trial notaries furnish authentic evidence of the methods adopted by the Inquisition and of the relationships between the Conversos and their Christian neighbours in a city of fifteenth-sixteenth century Castile. The trials are presented in the original mediaeval Spanish, with introductions, genealogies, synopses of trials and notes in English.

The Leipzig Glossary, composed toward the end of the thirteenth century in the Norman capital of Rouen, is a complete glossary of the entire Hebrew Bible, accompanied by translations of the words of the biblical text into Old French and by numerous rabbinic interpretations. When the Jews were expelled from France in the early fourteenth century, the book was carried to the German-speaking region of southern Alsace, and translations into Middle High German were added in the margins. The parallel appearance of Hebrew, Old French and Middle High German equivalents, the latter two given both in the original vocalized Hebrew characters and in Latin transliteration, makes this text of incomparable importance to linguists of Old French, Yiddish, and early modern Hebrew alike.
