Abstract


This article includes the edition of several documents containing the last wills by ten Jews (five men and five women), nine from Huesca and one from Calatayud, all but the first dated in the mid-decades of the 15th century, that were issued before Christian notaries. As far as possible, the author has tried to sketch a bio of the legators with the assistance of data extracted from the notarial protocols in the Archivo Histórico Provincial de Huesca. The author deals, too, with a number of considerations concerning the economic life of these individuals and the familial relationships between Jews and converts.
