Abstract


Fourteen kilometres away from Toledo, in the Castle of Guadamur, built by Don Pedro López de Ayala «The Younger» during the reign of Henry IV of Castille, there is a Hebrew inscription under the coffered ceiling of the so-called «Arabic Hall», containing verses 2-4 and the first word of verse 5 of Psalm 30, that was carved during the restoration of the castle in the 19th centrury. It is very likely that the Conde de Cedillo, who cooperated in the restoration with Don Carlos Morenes y Tord, Barón de las Cuatro Torres and Conde de Asalto, then owner of the castle, drew his inspiration from a similar inscription of the Women's Gallery in the El Tránsito Synagogue which, most of it, has gone last nowadays.
