The lack of documentary local sources has hindered until here our knowledge of the Jews of the Aragonese town of Belchite, belonging to the count of Luna. By using a manuscript notarial notebook –that had been inaccurately ascribed to a “seigniorial notary’s office of Federico de Aragon”– preserved in the City Archives of Segorbe, the author identifies several Jews living in the town in the 1420s and provides mention of their activities. Some of these Jews are featured in the Hebrew poems by Šelomoh Bonafed, the author that will settle in Belchite two decades later.
