Abstract

A new Jewish epigraph from a synagogue in Trani

In June 2025, knowledge was gained that a Hebrew inscription had been discovered during the restoration of a building in the ancient medieval quarter of Trani. The epigraph features an elegant inscription in Hebrew script; it is dated to the year 4880 (1119/1120 CE) and can, therefore, be considered one of the most ancient and significant testimonies of the Jewish presence in medieval Puglia. The text, although partially preserved, allows us to understand the function of the epigraph and to assign it to a synagogue context.
