Abstract

The current contribution is aimed at publishing a Talmudic fragment that was discovered in strips in a repository of scattered fragmentary materials located in the Vatican Library’s Restoration Workshop in May 2023. The fragment once belonged to a late twelfth century Ashkenazi testimony of the Talmud Yerushalmi. While the Babylonian Talmud has been preserved in 68 manuscripts and thousands of fragments from the Cairo Genizah and the European Genizah, the Talmud Yerushalmi has only been preserved in one complete Italian manuscript from 1289 (Leiden Or. 4720), two partial manuscripts (Vat. ebr. 133 and Escorial G 1.3.1), along with 61 Cairo Genizah fragments and 18 European Genizah fragments. Therefore, every newly discovered fragment of the TY is of particular importance.
