Description
Summary:Since the 10th century, Hebrew script of Italian-type draws its origin in the culture of the Jewish communities inhabiting the region of Salento in Southern Puglia, which were important centers of cultural and religious life, as well as literary production. The object of this study are Hebrew fragments, which were dismembered from six ancient Torah scrolls with Italian-type Hebrew script. They were discovered in a 13th-century Greek palimpsest (Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, MS Plut. 74.17), consisting of reused parchment sheets with Greek and Hebrew script. These Hebrew fragments will be compared by palaeographic analysis with contemporary palimpsests from Palestine, as well as the first Italian Hebrew manuscripts of Salentinian origin, attempting to demonstrate that the six Hebrew Torah scroll fragments in MS Plut. 74.17 may have also been produced in Southern Puglia, thus bringing further evidence of Italian-type Hebrew script on parchment in Italy.
