Abstract

Shalom ben Solomon Yerushalmi: mapping a Sicilian exile and his intellectual baggage

In this article, the work of a little-known Sicilian intellectual is discussed, namely, Shalom ben Solomon Yerushalmi, who was active in Syracuse at the end of the 15th century. After the expulsion of the Jews from the Kingdom of Sicily in 1492, he was exiled to Modon, Mazarakata, Lepanto, Patras, and Arta. He was both the copyist as well as the author of scientific treatises: unfortunately, most of his original contributions have been lost. The aim of this study is to provide a new, general overview of all surviving manuscripts related to him, and what they reveal to us about his lost works and his intellectual Weltanschauung.
