Abstract

Jewish Presences in Modugno and Mola di Bari

Although documentary evidence of a continuous Jewish presence in Modugno and Mola di Bari between the end of the 15th century and 1541 is not preserved, this study makes close analysis of records kept in the ecclesiastical archives of the two Apulian towns, as well as other documents ‒ both published and unpublished ‒ in neighboring cities that attest to relations the people from Modugno and Mola di Bari had with Jews for commercial and credit activities. The testimonies of relationships between Jews and non-Jews in Modugno are, in fact, numerous, continuous, and detailed. For Mola di Bari, however, even though a continuous Jewish presence in the town is attested to before the general expulsion in 1541, all that has been found so far are the synthetic notes of tax collections to the Presbitery for deeds of sale.
