King Ahashverush and the maidens, from a Persian Jewish manuscript, 17th century.

The Jewish community was a very ancient Persian community and its prolonged contact with the Persian culture produced profound acculturation, especially in literature and applied arts. The period of the production of these Judeo-Persian manuscripts coincides with a very difficult time of anti-Jewish persecutions: a number of anti-Jewish incidents took place during the reign of Shah Abbas II. Along with Jews, Sufis as well as other religious minorities, such as Armenian Christians and Zoroastrians were also targets of religious intolerance. Most of the major Jewish communities appear to have converted in 1656, and their members became anusim (“forced converts”) for about seven years, outwardly complying with Shiite Islam while practicing Judaism in secret. A practice ironically similar to that of taqiya (dissimulation), followed by the Shiites for many centuries. The events are retraced in the Ketāb-e anusi, “The book of Converts” by Bābāʿi ben Lotf, a Jewish witness in Kashan.

Ornate Torah mantle and crown, Rome, Italy, late 17th century

The Jewish community in Rome is known to be one the oldest continuous Jewish settlements in the world and dates back to the first century BCE. The historic Roman Jews are part of the small but ancient Jewish group of Italqim, speaking an own dialect known as Giudaico-Romanesco. They were later joined by Sephardi, Ashkenazi, Persian and Libyan Jews. The rise of Christianity in the later Roman empire spelled the end of the community’s good fortunes. In 1555, a ghetto was constructed in seven marshy, flood-prone acres at the Tiber River. There, the Jews were obliged to live for 315 years until the creation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1870.
