historical_info = d009_sephardi_diaspora.4.historical_info Doña Gracia Mendes Nasi (born Beatriz de Luna in Lisbon, c.1510) built one of the great converso trading fortunes of the 16th century, and after settling openly as a Jew, first in Antwerp and then Ferrara, used both her wealth and her connections to fund the 1553 Ferrara Bible, a Ladino translation aimed at conversos who had lost fluency in Hebrew, and to help finance escape routes for Portuguese New Christians fleeing the Inquisition.
