Scope and content
The Ebrei series is part of the Camerale II fonds of the Archivio di Stato di Roma. It consists of 23 storage units produced by the Camera Apostolica (Apostolic Chamber) related to Jews, Jewish communities, and Jewish-Christian relations. The first nine units contain very heterogeneous material but the others include records gathered by theme or document type, namely: patent rights for the “casermaggio” (military barrack equipment) of Rome and other places (1700-1817); special concessions to the Jewish communities of Ancona, Perugia, Senigallia, Ferrara and Urbino (1711-1832); acts of the commission for the "claustro israelitico" (Jewish cloister) of Rome (1832-1849); asset and liability of the Jewish community of Rome (1647-1865); and causes (1634-1860).
Archival history
The documentary complex named as Camerale II is one of the three main fonds into which the archive of the Apostolic Chamber was divided at the end of the 19th century in the Archivio di Stato di Roma. It is organised into series that partly reflect the arrangement by subject or area of intervention that characterised the “modus operandi” of the Computisteria (accounting office) of the Chamber following the reform of Benedict XIV. This arrangement was carried out by Francesco Simonetti in 1744, who also proceeded with the filing of documents. This sorting by subject was then forged to include documentation that was aggregated to the Apostolico Chamber archive, but that had arrived in great disorder and whose provenance was not clear.
Administrative / Biographical history
The Camera Apostolica (Apostolic Chamber) was created as a curial dicastery around the beginning of the 12th century, with the task of administering the Pope’s finances. In 1105, the figure of the "camerarius" appears. He concentrated all the functions previously managed by those officers who dealt with economic matters related to the Apostolic See since the 6th century, such as the “arcarius” or the “sacellarius”. After the new organisation undertaken by Cencio Savelli (later Pope Honorius III, 1216-1227), the Camera was articulated through a group of important officers, writers, notaries, and clerics, among others. Thus, it assumed a fundamental role within the Roman Curia.
