L’identità giuridica degli ebrei di Sicilia nel bassomedioevo: servi e cittadini
The legal identity of Sicilian Jews in the late Middle Ages: servants and citizens
Abstract
The juridical profile of Jews of Sicily comprised two different statutes: the servitude of the royal Chamber on one side and the citizenship rights on the other. Both statutes seem compatible and coexisting only when considering Jews as “faulty” citizens, whose citizenship benefits were limited by the weight of Roman-canonic juridical tradition and by restrictions estabilished from customs of the servitude of the Royal Chamber.
Il profilo giuridico degli ebrei di Sicilia compendiava due differenti statuti: quello della servitù della regia Camera da un lato ed i diritti connes-si alla cittadinanza dall’altro lato. I due statuti risultano conciliabili e conviventi solo considerando gli ebrei come dei cittadini “imperfetti”, il cui godimento della piena cittadi-nanza era limitato dal peso della tradizione giuridica romano-canonica e dai vincoli stabiliti dalle consuetu-dini legate alla servitù della regia Camera.
