Abstract

The privilege deed granted by Isabella of Aragon to the Jews of Bari

This paper  is the edition of a notarial deed relating to an agreement entered into between the universitas of Bari and the local Jewish community. Among other inserts, the deed contains an unpublished privilege granted in 1522 to the Jews of Bari by its feudal lord, Isabella of Aragon, concerning the safety of the Jewish families, their general assets, and the methods of exercising the activity of moneylending. The author provides a close analysis of the manuscript and a biographical note on Isabella of Aragon which explains the context in which the deed was granted, comparing its articles with similar measures previously issued in favour of Jews living in the Kingdom of Naples.
