Editing Burgos (section)

=== Jewish History ===
Historically, there was a large and thriving [[Jewish]] community in Burgos. Its first documentation dates to 974. In the 13th century, Burgos was the largest Jewish center in northern Castile. Renowned [[Talmudists]] [[Meir Abulafia]], [[Todros ben Joseph Abulafia]], and poet [[Todros ben Judah Halevi Abulafia]] were born in Burgos. In the latter half of the 13th century, many [[kabbalists]] began moving to Burgos. After new restrictions were imposed on Jews, and they began to suffer from more violent acts of antisemitism, many converted to Christianity. The most well-known convert from Burgos, [[Paul of Burgos]], was originally a Spanish Jew named Solomon Halevi. During the [[Edict of Expulsion]] in 1492, most Jews in Burgos became [[conversos]] rather than fleeing Spain. Those who did went to Portugal.<ref>{{cite web |title=Burgos, Spain |url=https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/burgos |website=Jewish Virtual Library |access-date=26 June 2024}}</ref>
