Abstract:
The present study focuses on two of the most ancient and rare findings of the ‘Italian Genizah’ project: the fragments of a Tosefta discovered in Norcia and part of a codex with the Še’iltot de-Rav Aḥai discovered in Ravenna. Both the manuscripts described here, and analysed from a codicological and palaeographic point of view, date back to the late 10th century. The Norcia Tosefta fragments, written in Hebrew square Oriental script, were probably copied in Salento ‒ and belong to the oldest manuscript of the Tosefta presently known ‒ while the manuscript of the Še’iltot de-Rav Aḥai, written in old square Hebrew Oriental script of the Maghrebine typology, is likely to have been copied in Sicily, where this kind of script was also in use.
