58This study explores the diverse causes behind the destruction and scarcity of medieval Hebrew manuscripts. Factors include their extensive use for study and prayer, the absence of scriptoria in the Jewish world, precarious preservation conditions, systematic destruction by the Church and Inquisition, market circuits of reused parchment codices, and the influence of Genizah legislation. The reuse of medieval Hebrew manuscripts is situated within the epochal printing press phenomenon. The Jewish experience is unique in featuring the persecution and burning of Hebrew books, exemplified by the Talmud’s burning ordered by Pope Julius III in 1553 and the Church’s policy shift under Pope Paul IV, leading to the deliberate destruction of sacred texts. This context resulted in a severe scarcity of Talmud copies, prompting rabbis to halt teachings. The study delves into the intricate interplay of historical events shaping the fate of Hebrew manuscripts.
