RARE monograph on marranos (conversos; anusim) in Rabbinic literature, a fascinating issue which requires a thorough knowledge in Jewish law, since the anusim were either Jews who converted or were forced to convert to Christianity, some of whom may have continued to practice Judaism in secret, and this alone posed numerous questions about their status from Rabbinical point of view. H.J.Zimmels was an influential author of many important publications, such as `Ashkenazim and Sephardim: Their Relations, Differences, and Problems as Reflected in the Rabbinical Responsa`, `Magicians, Theologians and Doctors: Studies in Folk-medicine and Folk-lore as Reflected in the Rabbinical Responsa (12th-19th Centuries)`, `The Echo of the Nazi Holocaust in rabbinic Literature`, and many others.
