Italia

This series has regretfully been discontinued.

Editor's farewell letter. 

This issue unfolds the fascinating story of the Jewish-Italian historian Gedaliah Ibn Yahya, author of Chain of Tradition and his rich family history, the unique praying tradition of the 18th century Jewish community of Viadana and more.

Periodical for the research of the history, culture, and literature of Italy’s Jews.
Whoever deals with Jewish thought and humanities knows well how important and influential the Italian Jews were and still are in this wide range of fields.
The Italian Jews have been passing on their creative thought and knowledge for generations, in the Hebrew and Italian languages, maintaining a firm methodical tradition which the Italia periodical is researching. The periodical emphasizes the importance of studying the language, literature, culture and history of Italy and Italian Jews.
Italian Jews had a strong presence in the European culture from the 13th century and to this day. Documents, manuscripts and many books reveal many remarkable authors and thinkers, Jews and others that had strong ties with the rather small ethnicity of Italian Jews.
Even though there are many renowned studies on the contributions of Italian Jews to the cultural making of the Italian nation, there is still a need for a centralized publication of these past and new studies. Italia is an important focal point for an academic discussion on the culture, literature, history and language of Italian Jews as well as a place where one can weigh the conclusions of these studies and place goals for future research in these exciting fields.
