Abstract


The appointment of the Marbiztora (Rabbi) of the Jewish community in mid-fifteenth c. Saragossa gave rise to a conflicting situation at the time of the renewal of the office between the two candidates (R. Juce ben Josua and R. Elias) and their supporters. The conflict was finally settled with the appointment of the first one, a Sicilian Rabbi that could rely on the support of prince Juan, the king’s deputy in the kingdom of Aragon. The documentary evidence has impportantly improved our knowledge on the legal procedures followed in these appointments, and provided new information on some of the individuals involved in the events described.
