Abstract


The Jewish aljama of Zaragoza, like some other Jewish aljamas in Aragon, enjoyed certain judiciary privileges, controlled by the Crown, whereby the Jews had the faculty of solving their own quarrels: there was a court for civil causes (the bêṯ-dîn), a special one to judge the informers or "malsines", and a Jewish judge of appeals appointed by the community. This article examines the development of this autonomy during the 13th and 14th centuries, and studies Pedro el Ceremonioso's judiciary regulations of 1376. This law remained in force, in its broad lines, until their expulsion.
