Il riutilizzo delle stele funerarie dei cimiteri ebraici sefarditi di Ferrara nel Pinqas della Scuola Spagnuola degli anni 1715-1811

Through the study of sources within the Jewish world we can shed light on little known aspects of the history of the Jewish community of Ferrara. Pinqasim, or community registers, can indeed provide interesting data on the Jewish cemeteries of the city. This study focuses on the Sephardic Jewish cemeteries of Ferrara and on the incredible reuse of their ancient funerary steles. The case of research is based on the analysis of the Pinqas of the Spanish Levantine School, manuscript of 1715-1811, kept at the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem.
