Abstract
Handbooks often explain the use of the Hebrew alphabet for the writing of the judeolanguages (the local vernaculars used by the Jews in the Diaspora, and in Palestine, too) as a phenomenon of identitarian religious enclavization and preservation of a graphic system that rabbinic tradition had sacralized. Such a view can be problematised, but also enriched by some examples and their related considerations taken from the social history of Jewish communities.
