| Born | Conrad Victor Salonica, Ottoman Empire (now Greece ) |
Moses Prado (fl. 16th and 17th centuries) was a
Duke of Hesse to return to Marburg, where he had left his wife. In a series of letters to an old friend in Marburg named Hartmann, Moses justified his conversion to Judaism. He argued that the truth of Judaism was beyond question, since both Muslims and Christians are compelled to acknowledge it. He asked the Duke of Hesse to be as tolerant as the sultan, who he said granted freedom of conscience to every man. The permission was refused, and Moses remained in Salonica until his death.[1]
