Abstract

The Historian Eustachio Rogadeo from Bitonto and his Collection of Documents on the History of South Italian Jews After giving a brief introduction to the figure of Eustachio Rogadeo (1855-1920) and his collection of documents regarding the province of Terra di Bari from the Angevin period on, the article analyzes a book-length manuscript in the Rogadeo collection concerning the Jews of Apulia. The most substantial and significant part of this work is comprised of three appendixes that contain unpublished documents dating from the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries, transcribed and/or registered by Rogadeo before they were destroyed in 1943 in the Second World War. Rogadeo was also responsible for collecting these sources in a number of manuscript volumes conserved today at the Municipal Library of Bitonto.
