Abstract


The present article deals with the life of Jehuda Alitienz in the aljama of Huesca and his murder at the hands of a Christian. The reason for his tragic death is presumably to be sought in the non-fulfillment of a business agreement he had concluded with Sancho López. Other circumstances, however, may have played their part as well such as Rabbi Juce Papur's unfriendliness and the victim's tricky relations with some members of his own family. In studying this case we hope to throw some light on the life and the problems that could arise in an aljama as well as on the local judicial system, especially in the area of crime.
