I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition

From what I read somewhere, Molko as a relapse Christian was under the bailiwick of the Inquisition, but Reubeni as a Jew would be off-limits for the Office. --Error 00:01, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Inquisition had authority over Jews who were accused of "Judaizing" - i.e. proselytizing to Christians. Such people, who might only be guilty of printing Hebrew books (or in some areas, carrying them) could be tried and sentenced to burn by ecclesiastic courts eventhough not themselves Christian. Usually if they converted to Christianity they would mercifully be strangled before burning.--Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 04:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Possible reference to the work by "Prof. W. Fischel"

Fischel, W. J. The rediscovery of the medieval Jewish community at Fīrūzkūh in central Afghanistân. Journal of the American Oriental Society, 85 (1965) pp.148-153

I found this in Afghanistan: A Bibliography on Google Books: http://books.google.ca/books?id=qCh41lAvg8oC&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43&dq=Fischel,+W.+J.+pashtun&source=bl&ots=vS09_Fltta&sig=syL06LXV6fp2ZXOhspfFkmb3vdg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=gJqQT5abCsX56QGh16i-BA&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Fischel%2C%20W.%20J.%20pashtun&f=false

While I'm not certain if it's the right reference to the material in this article, it seems likely, given that the only other references to Prof. Fischel that I've managed to find are about the Persian translation of the Bible and a piece on Jews in Iran (http://www.jewish-languages.org/judeo-persian.html) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.69.142.107 (talk) 23:18, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
