SUMMARY<br />
We evaluated several kinds of Jewish literary texts which have been preserved in the Archivio<br />
Storico Comunale at Bazzano. We did not discuss the remains of Biblical texts and Rashi commentary on<br />
Prophets, of which some leaves are located in this archive. No doubt this small collection of fragments is<br />
very important for scholarly purposes, especially for a philological analysis of those texts which were<br />
copied during the Medieval period, namely between twelfth to fourteenth centuries. Among the most<br />
important Hebrew manuscript fragments found in this collection, we have pointed out the Talmudic<br />
fragments, which make up 50 percent of the «Bazzano Genizah». Furthermore, we have identified some<br />
more leaves from the same manuscripts in other «Italian Genizah» collections in Bologna and its vicinity.<br />
KEY WORDS: «Italian Genizah», Bazzano fragments, Talmud Bavli.<br />
