I frammenti ebraici di Bologna. Archivio di Stato e collezioni minori

A catalogue containing more than 850 fragments, many of which folios or bi-folios, belonging to 369 Hebrew manuscripts dated between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries discovered recently the Archivio di Stato di Bologna and in minor archives of the same city. During the second half of the sixteenth century the manuscripts were split up and used by the Bolognese binders as covers or bindings for registers. Many are important not only for the antiquity and rarity of the actual texts but for having restored, even partially, these lost or unknown works. Second only to that of Modena, this Bolognese collection is the largest known for this type of manuscript re-cycling and for the amount of Talmudic scripts.
