Mistranslation &rarr; garbage
The following pieces of text may be due to poor translation from the Hebrew or Italian pages, neither of which I am competent to consult to fix them

 * 1) had their own Jewish ritual rite called APAM
 * 2) ▶ "Ritual rite"? I'm Jewish, and I didn't understand this. "Ritual rite" seems to be redundant. Judaism has many rituals, some found in only a few communities.
 * 3) ▶ What is APAM? Is the name an acronym? If not, why is it uppercased?
 * 4) is branched to the Jewish community of Torino.
 * ▶ "Is branched to" is ungrammatical and meaningless. That is, "I see she" is ungrammatical, but its meaning can be reasonably guessed as = "I see her". No such interpretation is possible with "is branched to".
 * 1) * it became prominent in the area in the 14th century
 * 2) * evidence for an organized Jewish community there does not appear till the 15th century.
 * ▶ Which is it, 14th or 15th?
 * 1) * in the 14th century with the arrival of many Jews expelled from France.
 * 2) * the 1322 expulsion of the French Jews by king Charles IV.
 * ▶ At least these are consistent. Do they help clarify #3?
 * 1) * the 1322 expulsion of the French Jews by king Charles IV.

Emperor Honorius Sought Refuge in Asti-Hosta?
The article says Gothic cavalry forced Emperor Honorius, who was trying to flee from Milan to Gaul, to take emergency refuge in Hasta. However historian Wolfram writes in "The History of the Goths" that Stilicho was able to persuade Honorius to stay in Milan until the Roman army could relieve the city. The article does not cite any source. It is already flagged as needing citations. But Wolfram does not cite any sources either! Are there any contemporary sources?
