MANUSCRIPT - MEDIEVAL PROVENCE - Lot 55

MANUSCRIPT - MEDIEVAL PROVENCE Piece in Provençal, signed in Hebrew, November 23, 1461, 1 p. ¼, large in-4, paper, piece restored. Extremely rare document. Arbitration award given by Jacob Bonsenhor and Jassé Asser, who signed the deed twice in Hebrew letters. It concerns a dispute over "quitansas ebraycas" (Hebrew quittances) and books from the estate of the Jew Ysac de Rocamartina (Isaac de Roquemartine): "Aven fach escrieure aquesta sentensia de letra crestiana ... a XXIII del mes de novembre, l'an mil IIII. Sexanta un e l'aven sota escricha de nosta man en letra ebrayca..." (We had this sentence written in Christian letters on November 23, 1461, and we signed it with our own hand in Hebrew letters).
