The Renaissance literary men and poets [[Torquato Tasso]] (author of ''[[Jerusalem Delivered]]''), [[Ludovico Ariosto]] (author of the romantic epic poem ''[[Orlando Furioso]]'') and [[Matteo Maria Boiardo]] (author of the grandiose poem of chivalry and romance ''[[Orlando Innamorato]]'') lived and worked at the court of Ferrara during the 15th and 16th century.

The ''[[Ferrara Bible]]'' was a 1553 publication of the [[Ladino language|Ladino]] version of the [[Tanakh]] used by [[Sephardi Jews]]. It was paid for and made by Yom-Tob ben Levi Athias (the [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Marrano]] ''Jerónimo de Vargas'', as typographer) and [[Abraham Usque|Abraham ben Salomon Usque]] (the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] [[Jew]] ''Duarte Pinhel'', as translator), and was dedicated to [[Ercole II d'Este]]. In the 20th century, Ferrara was the home and workplace of writer [[Giorgio Bassani]], well known for his novels that were often adapted for cinema (''[[The Garden of the Finzi-Continis]]'', ''[[Long Night in 1943]]''). In historical fiction, British author [[Sarah Dunant]] set her 2009 novel ''Sacred Hearts'' in a convent in Ferrara.
