Jewish-Italian newspaper, originally issued as a monthly magazine devoted to Jewish history and literature but here in newspaper format. It has a large type heading that describes it as Israel éùøàì separated by a Magen David, and, in smaller letters, Corriere Israelitico (Anno 76). Below, also in Hebrew, is the verse “Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own treasure among all peoples; for all the earth is mine; And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation” (Exodus 19:5-6). The text of the paper is entirely in Italian.
Corriere Israelitico was founded at Trieste in 1863 by Abrama Vito Morpurgo, who edited it six years, and at his death the editorship devolved upon A. di S. Curiel, Morpurgo's son-in-law, its present editor. At times Morpurgo was assisted by Leone Racah and, later, by his son Gustavo. For several years Dante A. Lattes was one of the directors, and he has become the magazine's chief representative and contributor. During the early days of its career the "Corriere" published not only careful accounts of Jewish events at home and abroad, but also scientific articles by S. D. Luzzatto, Lelio della Torre, and their most distinguished pupils; poems and stories on Jewish subjects; and translations of scientific, devotional, and belletristic works. Later on it devoted itself entirely to the setting forth of the cabalistic theories current in Italy, Elia Benamozegh and his pupils becoming the chief of its contributors, among whom is also Prof. Vittorio Castiglioni.G. This is vol. xxii no. 23.
