| Sumari: | The Pinqassim of Carpentras under the Supervision of the Holy See. I. The Séfer ha-yahas (1736-1769) kept by Élie Crémieux. – This article retraces the singular route taken by two pinqassim of Carpentras, the Séfer ha-yahas [The Book of genealogy] and the Hazkarat ha-nefashot [The Memorial of the Souls], 18th century Hebrew manuscripts which serve, amongst other things as old parish registers and portions of which can be found both in The Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People (CAHJP) in Jerusalem and The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York (YIVO).The article describes the context in which these registers were written, while providing information about its scribe who kept them, Élie Crémieux. It then attempts to describe the initial structure of the Séfer ha-yahas, suggesting a typology of the diverse entries that it contains.These are, for the most part, entries recording births, circumcisions and marriages of the Carpentras Jews. At regular intervals amongst these entries, one finds a record of important events, such as those linked to the synagogue and religion or to the election of administrators and the passage of emissaries through the Holy Land.These original old Hebrew texts demonstrate the persistence, liveliness and special character of the Hebrew of the period and, at the same time, serve as link between the medieval and the modern, contemporary languages. The study of these texts opens up new perspectives and tells us more about a meridional community at a key moment in its history. |
