Surviving the Ghetto: Toward a Social History of the Jewish Community in 16th-Century Rome de Serena Di Nepi

Surviving the Ghetto: Toward a Social History of the Jewish Community in 16th-Century Rome: Studies in Jewish History and Culture, cartea 65

Autor Serena Di Nepi Traducere de Paul M. Rosenberg
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 dec 2020
With this English edition of Surviving the Ghetto, Serena Di Nepi traces the troubled and compelling history of the birth of the ghetto in sixteenth-century Rome. From the arrival of the Sephardim to the Italian wars, and the incredible story of an accusation of ritual homicide that was never made, the research sketches a picture of Jewish society, its institutions and its ruling class during the first fifty years of segregation. How did Jews react to the ghetto? Did their institutional organization change, and how? What was the impact of the restrictive laws regarding their professions and their working environment? What was the role of the rabbis in such a problematic moment? What became of Rome’s Jewish bankers? This book addresses these questions.

Recenzii

"Serena Di Nepi's Surviving the Ghetto is the highly anticipated English translation of her book Sopravvivere al ghetto, originally published in 2013. It is a study of the birth of the Roman ghetto in 1555 and its first fifty years of existence. (…) Having laid out the preconditions for the establishment of the ghetto, Di Nepi turns to the main part of her book, an illustrious and intelligent examination of the effect of the ghetto on Jewish society. (…) This ultimately results in a story that goes far beyond the Jewish survival of the Roman ghetto. It offers a nuanced sketch of Roman Jewish society in the sixteenth century in particular, and early modern Jewish life in Italy in general."
- Andreas Berger, in Renaissance Quarterly Volume 75, Issue 4 (2022).
