Early Settlement.
Jews lived in Spain in very early times, although the
legend that Solomon's treasurer Adoniram died there,
as well as the story that the Jews of Toledo, in a
letter addressed to the Sanhedrin at Jerusalem,
declared against the crucifixion of Jesus, can not be
credited. Yet it is certain that the apostle Paul
intended to visit Spain to proclaim his new teaching
to the Jews living there, and that Vespasian, and
especially Hadrian, who was himself a Spaniard,
transported several Jewish prisoners to Spain. Several
passages in the Talmud and in the Midrash (Leviticus
Rabbah) which treat of refer undoubtedly to Spain
(Levy, "Neuhebr. Wörterb." i. 128; Kohut, "Aruch
Completum," i. 188); and the Jewish coins unearthed in
ancient Tarragona give evidence of an early settlement
of the Jews in Spain, either voluntary or involuntary.
