Tombstones of the Jews of Padua, 1500-1850

Cycle de conférences de David Malkiel

Summary

The Jewish tombstones of pre-modern Europe are significant for European history, since individual burial, with individual tombstones, only became widespread among Christians in the modern era. The tombstones of Italy’s Jews are particularly valuable, because, whereas in other lands Jewish tombstones typically record the identity of the deceased and the date of death, in Italy they display creative architectural designs and graphic art, accompanied by rhymed and metered poetry. These artifacts invite integrated study of the society, art, poetry and thought of Italy’s Jews in the early modern era.

Announcement

The tombstones of Ashkenazic Jewry have been studied for their social history and genealogy; those of Sephardic communities exhibit exquisite images of biblical scenes, and have attracted intensive iconographical study. Because of their poetry, the tombstones of Italy enable multidisciplinary analysis of a kind available nowhere else, which is partly why such research has not been hitherto undertaken.
