Abstract


Because of their extreme realism, Italian Renaissance comedies can be used as historical tools, in order to gauge social, commercial, and religious customs in Sixteenth Century Italy. The Comedia SINE NOMINE, written by an unknown author, printed in Florence by the Giuntis in 1574, relates the flight of a marrano family from Barcelona to Florence. In spite of being often caught in the web of the Italian «commedia erudita», the play is of great interest because it helps us to better understand the conditions under which Jews and marranos lived in Renaissance Florence.
