Variations on a religious theme : Jews and Muslims from the Eastern Mediterranean converting to Christianity, 17th and 18th Centuries (original) (raw)
Abstract
This study explores the religious conversion of Jews and Muslims to Christianity from the mid-17th to the 18th centuries in the international city of Venice and the port-city of Corfu. It does not focus on the subjective experiences and identity formation of candidate converts, but rather on the background situations that acted as catalysts for these people's decision to convert. More concretely, the study connects, on the one hand, the conversion of Jews to the impoverishment of a large part of the Jews in Europe in the period under consideration, while it also traces the existence of a minority of educated and wealthy Jewish converts, whose conversion it considers in connection to the crisis of Jewish identity in the late 18th century. On the other hand, the study traces two core elements in the lives and itineraries of Muslim candidate converts: a background of sustained familiarity with Christianity, and an extensive physical mobility that exposed them to and entailed interaction with multi-ethnic and multireligious contexts. Additionally, the study argues that despite the diversity of social status, backgrounds, circumstances or incentives for conversion that candidate converts displayed, a common element transcends the majority of their life-stories: the fact that before reaching the Christian institutions, they were already embedded in cross-faith and cross-cultural social networks. These networks, which often operated as agents of conversion, formed the wider framework within which the various catalysts-from straightforward coercion and poverty to intense cross-faith intimacy, physical mobility, identity crisis or the prospect of professional and status gain-were played out. The study draws mostly, but not exclusively, on material from the archive of the institution of the Casa dei Catecumeni and the church of San Giorgio in Venice, as well as on material from the Megalos Protopapas and the Latin Cathedral archival series in Corfu.

One of the few that we have refers to Marta olim Rosa who was sent away as a weaver apprentice. Marta was eight years old when she was brought with her sister at the institution in 1660 after their father had initially arrived there, and five years later, at the age of thirteen, the institution decided to send her to Bortollo Mozachi, a weaver in the quarter of San Geremia 'ad imparar la profesion del tesser'. 407 Beyond these quite common options for occupational engagement that the institution could offer, few Jewish converts were recruited as mercenaries in the Venetian infantry and light cavalry companies, often stationed in cities of the Veneto, like Salo, Bergamo and Palmanova, or in the Venetian navy, where they were also employed as sailors 408 -as we will see, by contrast, Muslims converts were much more often enrolled in the Venetian compagnie. In the 17th century, most Jewish converts who enrolled in mercenary companies 404 Registro dei Battesimi 1616-1676, c. 46r, Sezione antica, Catecumeni, ASPV.

It seems, though, that these were closely interlinked categories, and as Bono has argued, it was possible to distinguish between a captive and a slave only after a captive was ransomed and freed, see Salvatore Bono, 'Slave Histories and Memoirs in the Mediterranean World.
