The Portuguese Nation of Amsterdam

For years now, merchants arriving from Portugal and calling themselves simply the Portuguese Nation have settled quietly in Amsterdam, keeping their own counsel and their own customs behind closed doors. It has become an open secret among our own Burghers that a great many of these merchants are, and have always been, practicing Jews, and that the fortune they bring with them is considerable.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_diaspora.7.historical_info Portuguese conversos, calling themselves the Portuguese Nation, began settling in Amsterdam around the 1590s, openly returning to Judaism once Hollandish authorities extended de facto tolerance, though full legal recognition came gradually. By the mid-17th century Amsterdam's Sephardi community had become one of the wealthiest and most influential in Europe, home to the Portuguese Synagogue and a printing industry that made the city a major center of Hebrew and Ladino publishing.
