The aim of this paper is to show the accidental discovery of four fragments from a Hebrew Bible, presumably dated from 15th Century, in the Riojan city of Calahorra. Those fragments are part of the Book of Esther and served as binding of a Santiago and saint Andrés brotherhood book, Calagurritan parishes. Moreover, in the middle of the last century two manuscript pages of the Book of Exodus belonging to another Hebrew Bible (14th Century) were found. Although the passages became proved, a detailed study of both pages was not done. Doubtlessly, these discoveries in the same parish archive located in the ancient Jewish quarter of Calahorra are new proofs that bear witness to the strong Jewish presence in the lower Riojan city.
