Letter by Rabbi Salmon Levi, Deputy Rabbi of Ferrara – Italy, to the Chief Rabbi of Corfu, 1891
Date: 1891
Language: The letter is written in both Italian and Hebrew, reflecting the cultural and linguistic milieu of Italian Jewish communities during that period.
Content:
The letter is addressed to the Chief Rabbi of Corfu, written by Rabbi Salmon Levi, who served as the Deputy Rabbi of Ferrara, Italy.
Rabbi Salmon Levi is known for his rabbinic leadership in Ferrara, a prominent Jewish community in Italy. The letter likely deals with matters of halachic importance or community affairs, though specific details about the contents would require a closer examination of the text itself.
The letter contains 4 pages, written in a neat and legible hand, showing a strong connection between the Italian and Greek Jewish communities at the time.
Condition:
The letter is in good condition overall, with some light wear and slight aging. There are minor signs of time-related deterioration, but the text is still fully legible and the handwriting is clear.
Size: 13 x 20 cm, which is a standard size for correspondence from this period.
This letter is a valuable historical artifact, offering a rare glimpse into the communication between Jewish leaders in different regions of Europe in the late 19th century. It also highlights the importance of Ferrara as a significant Jewish community in Italy during this time.
