The first known printed Ladino translation using Hebrew characters was published in 1601 at Giovanni di Gara’s printing house in Venice. Previous research has proven that this Venice translation more strongly resembles later translations originating from Eastern Mediterranean diaspora communities, especially Thessaloniki, than it does those published in the Italy, Amsterdam or London. A version of a Ladino translation of Pirkey Avot from Thessaloniki ca. 1570 has recently been discovered among remnants of the Cairo Genizah in Cambridge. A comparison of the 1601 and 1570 versions shows that not only are they very similar, but that it is also evident that the 1601 version is based on the Thessaloniki translation ca. 1570. Other texts published in Venice at the same printing house support this conclusion. This edition is now considered the oldest known version published in Ladino.","PeriodicalId":54054,"journal":{"name":"SEFARAD","volume":"6 1","pages":"117-136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78513852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars of different religious orientations addressed their works to the elite class of sages and scholars. At the end of the Middle Ages, starting from the early fourteenth century there was a clear turning point in Jewish literary activity in Spain. It was expressed by non-elitist writing for two notable groups: writing for the general public that had limited knowledge (but was capable of using Torah literature presented and accessible to it in Hebrew) and writing that was intended for beginning studens. The first part of the article deals with the extent of the phenomenon and its characteristics in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and even among the exiles after the Expulsion from Spain. The second part presents the phenomenon, regarding the writing for the general public, as reflected in Rabbi Isaac Aboab’s Menorat ha-Maor. The study of the book and its characteristics allows for a better understanding of the background and development of the phenomenon from a social and religious point of view. This part of the article deals with different aspects like the gap between available literature and social needs, the purpose of the sermon in society, the need of preachers for auxiliary literature, and also didactic aspects of Jewish literature at the end of the Middle Ages.","PeriodicalId":54054,"journal":{"name":"SEFARAD","volume":"109 1","pages":"411-445"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79204762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scholars’ trend is to consider the first centuries of the diaspora as a scarcely prolific period from an artistic point of view exactly because of the migrations that involved whole communities. On the contrary, in the Italian case the critics speak about a “Siglo de Oro de las Letras” of Sephardim who, between the 16th and the 17th century, were able to reach the necessary socio-economic stability to allow the flourishing of literature; the unpublished text Entremes de un dotor (1616) is an example of this crawling context. For these reasons, in this essay we propose to study the influence of Sephardic culture on Italian theater, in particular focusing on the area of Tuscany, a region that, since the expulsion, became a “safe harbor” for Jewish people. The objective is to detect the possible contribution of the Sephardim in the Italian drama of the late Renaissance and the Baroque to the modern era. To get closer to our objective, we will first present a series of reflections on the definition of «Sephardic identity» and, secondarily, we will comment on some theatrical texts that emerged in the Italian Judeo-Spanish area.","PeriodicalId":54054,"journal":{"name":"SEFARAD","volume":"98 1","pages":"447-467"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81197570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
