Abstract

Judayca terre Castri Regalis: The Jewish presence in a town of the Peloritani (Sicily) in the 15th century

Castroreale is a Sicilian centre in Valdemone. It was one of the most populated communities of this large area. In the 15th century, it hosted a Jewish community formed, in particular, by physicians, artisans and merchants of cloth. All were in commercial relations with Messina and its urban patriciate. Castroreale was also home to a significant number of neophytes, who were persecuted by the Inquisition in the first decades of the 16th century.
