Consolaçam ás tribulaçoens de Israel <Portuguese> / Consolation for the Tribulations of Israel (1553) is a book by Samuel Usque.
Abstract
An account of the persecutions borne by the Jewish people in their long history, aimed to confirm the Marranos in their faith and encourage them to return to Judaism. Following a then popular literary convention, the work takes the shape of a dialogue between a suffering shepherd and his comforters. The second part, based on the books of Maccabees and Josephus, deals specifically with the Second Temple period up to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus.
