Nato a Firenze a meta del Quattrocento da una famiglia ebraica, l'orafo Salomone da Sessa si trasferi a Ferrara, dove i suoi raffinati gioielli e le sue spade riccamente decorate erano ritenute di altissimo pregio dalle donne e dagli uomini di potere allora piu importanti in Italia. Voci scandalose sul suo conto iniziarono a circolare all'interno della comunita ebraica, che lo denuncio alle autorita civili. Accusato di sodomia, Salomone fu condannato a morte e accetto di convertirsi per avere salva la vita. Nel 1491 venne cosi battezzato e prese il nome di Ercole de' Fedeli. Grazie al sostegno di potenti mecenati come la duchessa Eleonora d'Aragona e il suo omonimo duca d'Este, Ercole visse poi da cattolico praticante per oltre un trentennio. Attraverso la drammatica vicenda di Salomone/Ercole e della sua famiglia, ricostruita sulla base di fonti archivistiche mai utilizzate prima, Tamar Herzig getta luce sulle relazioni ebraico-cristiane, il mecenatismo e l'omosessualita nelle citta italiane del XV e XVI secolo e dimostra per la prima volta quanto la conversione degli ebrei fosse una questione centrale nella politica del Rinascimento, gia cinquanta anni prima che la Chiesa ne facesse una priorita.
