SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This is a history of how the Corfiote Jews created a transnational network in the Adriatic during the nineteenth century. The protagonists are merchants, publishers and rabbis who lived in Corfu and had created intimate ties with Corfiote and non-Corfiote Jews, Muslims, Catholics and Christian Orthodox peoples in Padua, Scutari and Trieste. Through continued interactions in the nineteenth century Adriatic, circulating discourses, commodities and peoples created a distinct Jewish space, which was regional.
