Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Oria (southern Apulia, Italy) was one of the principal intellectual centers of medieval Judaism in southern Italy in the 9th–10th centuries. It is celebrated as the birthplace of Ahimaaz ben Paltiel, whose Sefer Yuhasin (Megillat Ahimaaz, c. 1054) constitutes a unique source on the history of Jewish families in Byzantine southern Italy and on the transmission of Jewish culture in the Mediterranean.

The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Oria give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
