Abstract

This paper studies several takkanot or local ordinances regarding marital practices and devolution of marriage assets, issued by different Hispano-Jewish communities between the thirteenth and the fifteenth centuries. These takkanot reveal the need and importance of regulating legal customs related to the basic social unity: the family. Throughout an individual and combined analysis of the ordinances, two models of devolution are established depending on whether the married couple had arranged a separate or common property system.
