Spanish Document 1

Introduction

This is page 1 of six scanned images of the original hand-written Spanish text of King Ferdinand's edict of expulsion of the Jews from his kingdom. This document came from the State Archives of Palermo and was reproduced in Fonti Per La Storia Dell'Espulsione Degli Ebrei Dalla Sicilia in connection with the Fifth International Convention of Studies of "Italia Judaica", held in Palermo on 15-19 June, 1992.

Tuesday, November 29, 2005. As a matter of fact, the document that I had scanned from the above noted State Archives of Palermo, may only be a subsequent, hand written transcription of the original Edict of Expulsion. The careful scholar may also wish to refer to the web site: Foundation for the Advancement of Sephardic Studies and Culture, for what appears to be an historically more accurate record.
