Edition of a partial inventory of the personal properties and books belonging to Mosse Almateri (Xativa ca. 1310 – Majorca 1362). Additional documentary evidence, published and unpublished, is provided regarding his activity in Xativa, Valencia and Majorca, uncovering us his personality as a moneylender, merchant and Jewish religious scholar. A man of comfortable standing, restrained in his public activities and faithful follower to Maimonides, Almateri seems to have had a yearning for gathering Biblical and Talmudic books.
