À la recherche du Paradis Perdu. L’exil dans "Étoile errante" de J.M.G. Le Clézio
2017
J. M. G. Le Clézio, the author of the novel Wandering Star fitting into the sociopolitical context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, presents the story of two girls Esther and Nejma. Their life reflect the history of two nations: the Jews and the Palestinians. Sentenced to be exiled as a consequence of the war, they embark on a spiritual journey in time and space, in order to return to Paradise Lost. By becoming the witness of the enemy’s ruthlessness, unimaginable cruelty, they discover the importance of religion. It’s the way that they figure out who they are. The religion gives them a sense of security, hope and perseverance, by which, in the end, they return to the Promised Land. So …
The Jewish doctors involved in the development of health resorts in eastern Galicia at the late 19th and early 20th century (Central and Eastern Euro…
2018
Summary Background The involvement of Jewish doctors and scientists in the development of health resorts in eastern Galicia (part of the Austrian monarchy after 1772, and since 1918 as part of independent Poland, now part of Ukraine) is unquestionable; however, awareness of this fact is not that common. Meanwhile, also due to their work and activity, small borderland resorts became important medical, cultural and social centers of the region. The involvement of Jewish doctors in the development of Galician health resorts resulted from, among others, the rich and multi-layered tradition and integration of Judaism with the hygiene regulations and moral principles of the religion. The eastern …

Relacje polsko-żydowskie w powiecie wieluńskim w II Rzeczypospolitej
2022
Zagadnienie relacji polsko-żydowskich w powiecie wieluńskim w II Rzeczypospolitej nie było podejmowane przez wielu badaczy. Trudno jest dokonać ich jednoznacznej oceny ze względu na złożoność problemu. Były one kształtowane przez ówczesną sytuację społeczno-ekonomiczną. Sprowadzały się one do: handlu, wydarzeń społecznych i religijnych oraz polityki. Niezależnie od przykładów zarówno przyjaznego współistnienia, jak i incydentalnych zdarzeń o charakterze przestępczym, w omawianym okresie splecione dzieje ludności polskiej i żydowskiej wpłynęły na dynamiczny rozwój społeczny tych terenów w warunkach niepodległego kraju. Obecność Żydów na tych terenach, którzy byli skupieni w siedmiu gminach w…
Gmina wyznaniowa żydowska w Wieluniu w II Rzeczypospolitej w dokumentacji Archiwum Państwowego w Łodzi
2019
Największa gmina wyznaniowa żydowska w powiecie wieluńskim w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej znajdowała się w Wieluniu. Skupiała ona około 5 tys. wyznawców judaizmu. Pracami kahału kierował zarząd gminy i rada gminy przy pomocy wielu pracowników, zajmujących się utrzymaniem m.in. synagogi, budynku gminy, łaźni i rzeźni rytualnej i szkół wyznaniowych. Wielkim autorytetem mieszkańców Wielunia cieszył się rabin, troszczący się o religijny rozwój społeczności żydowskiej i pomagający mu podrabin. Mimo ówczesnego kryzysu finansowego, gmina żydowska w Wieluniu prowadziła na dużą skalę działalność dobroczynną i społeczną, poprzez utrzymywanie i finansowanie licznych instytucji, w tym szkół wyznaniowych.
Nation and/or Homeland: Identity in 19th-Century Music and Literature between Central and Mediterranean Europe
2012
The aim of this book is to focus on the development of national awareness elaborated around a series of different case studies, in which the terms nation, homeland and people have been applied. This Romantic lexicon identifies similar but various conceptions of the national idea in some countries dominated by Italian, German and Slavic cultures, and in some groups or minorities such as the Jews and the Vlachs in Central and Mediterranean Europe. In order to clarify the cultural framework, the authors explore the construction of identity through folk tunes, poetry inspired by popular culture, and opera in which the national myths or heroes appear. In the self-making tradition, the national t…

Per il testo, il ritmo e lo iato dell´Epistola di Aristea a Filocrate
2021
Epistulae Aristeae ad Philocratem loci nonnulli ad genuinam lectionem revocantur; praeterea quaeritur utrum hiatus vitetur atque clausolae numerosae sint. The aim of the first part of this paper is to cast new light on the textual constitution of some passages of the Epistula Aristeae ad Philocratem. Ca. 20 pieces are discussed and for most of them a new solution is proposed; in the other cases I argue for a solution already proposed, but not accepted by the editors. The aim of the second part is to establish whether the ps.-Aristeas used rhythmical prose or not, and whether he avoided the hiatus. The analysis shows that he wrote rhythmical prose and avoided the hiatus.
Ebrei e musulmani in Sicilia nel XVIII secolo. Politica e confronto erudito
2020
L’intervento mira a una ridefinizione critica della questione legata al rapporto tra cristiani ed ebrei in Sicilia dopo l’espulsione di fine Quattrocento, e intende rimarcare la riattivazione di un interesse per gli ebrei che seguiva il progetto del loro reintegro nei Regni di Napoli e Sicilia da parte di Carlo III (l’editto borbonico, del 1740, era revocato dopo sei anni). Emerge in questo contesto il contributo di uno dei massimi eruditi di area muratoriana operanti in Sicilia, l’inquisitore taorminese Giovanni Di Giovanni, che dedicava alla storia dell’ebraismo siciliano prima dell’espulsione un’importante opera (l’Ebraismo della Sicilia, ricercato ed esposto, Palermo, Gramignani, 1748).…
