Abstract
Most scholarship on early modern Jewish history has used the Portuguese Inquisition archives to study the persecution and diaspora of Jews and New Christians. The Notarial acts of the Amsterdam Municipal archive and its Jewish collection, on the other hand, have been used mainly to reconstruct Jewish migration to the city and its Jewish community. Few studies, however, have utilised these collections to analyse Jewish short-term mobility. When utilised alongside one another, these materials prove to be an effective means to study Jewish movement. This article will shed new light on this topic by looking at seventeenth-century Jewish long- and short-term mobility between Europe and western Africa.
