Nuove fonti sul cimitero ebraico di Modena con l'edizione di quattro stele funerarie dei secc. XVIII-XIX

After a brief historical report on the presence of the Jews in Modena and on the local Jewish cemeteries, the author indicates a precious new seventeenth-century Hebrew source on the cemetery of Modena he found in Jerusalem at The Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People. This is the Register of all exits and accounts concerning the Modena cemetery of the Holy Community of Israel, compiled by Elia Israel Modena, starting on June 14, [5]388 [= 1628], of which the beginning is here transcribed in Hebrew with an Italian version. After reporting some documents on the Modena Jewish cemeteries, there are four funerary epigraphs, three from the 18th century and one from the early 19th century. Among them, one is of particular interest for its wonderful poem in rhyme and rhythm.
