Abstract

[IT] Il saggio presenta l'edizione dei regesti degli atti redatti nelle piazze di Rutigliano e Conversano nel XV e XVI secolo presso i notai Antonello de Salatino, operante a Rutigliano, e Giacomo de Sire Goffredo, il quale lavorò a Conversano nella metà del XV secolo. La regestazione degli atti notarili, già preparata da C. Colafemmina, è preceduta da una breve introduzione di D. de Ceglia, cui si deve la cura dei regesti del XVI secolo relativi alla presenza di ebrei nelle due città pugliesi, in età angioina e viceregnale. La varietà di documenti dimostra come gli ebrei fossero influenti all'interno della comunità, dove erano principalmente dediti all'agricoltura e alla zootecnia. Lo studio consente inoltre di conoscere i nomi di alcuni ebrei attivi come prestatori e commerciavano tessuti e beni di prima necessità non solo Rutigliano e Conversano, ma anche in altre città vicine, dove risultano rogati alcuni atti. The Jews in Rutigliano and Conversano in the 15th and 16th Centuries The present work deals with the publication of the registers of deeds written up in Rutigliano and Conversano (Puglia) during the 15th and 16th century by the notaries Antonello de Salatino from Rutigliano and Giacomo di sire Goffredo in Conversano. The transcription of the notarial deeds, done by the late Professor Cesare Colafemmina, is preceded by a short introduction by Diego de Ceglia about the Jewish presence in these two Apulian towns. The large number of the deeds shows how relevant the presence of Jews – most of whom were shepherds or cowherds – must have been within the community. The deeds also include the names of Jews engaged in moneylending at the time, and also in the buying and selling of necessaries and fabrics in Rutigliano, Conversano and other nearby towns. The 16th-century deeds from Rutigliano shed light on Jews’ economic conditions thanks to their references to the general regulations of the Kingdom of Naples concerning their taxation and exemptions. / [EN] The Jews in Rutigliano and Conversano in the 15th and 16th Centuries The present work deals with the publication of the registers of deeds written up in Rutigliano and Conversano (Puglia) during the 15th and 16th century by the notaries Antonello de Salatino from Rutigliano and Giacomo di sire Goffredo in Conversano.
