Spanish cursive manuscript on paper. Formerly in the Collection of Daniel M. Friedenberg Single leaf. Trace marginal worming. Framed. Horizontal 4to. English translation accompanies the lot.
Cervera, Catalonia: 18th November, 1406.
In this Court Document, dated 1406, the bailiff at the Court of Cervera informs the bailiff of Montroigo he has made notification by service of summons to Samuel Cavaller(ia), the Jew from Cervera.
The de la Cavalleria family were prominant in Aragon from the second half of the 13th century. Members lived in Saragossa, Barcelona, Villafranca and Lérida. During the 15th century, a family schism occurred after which many of its members adopted Catholicism. The privileges of those remaining faithful to Judaism were renewed by King Alfonso V in 1419. However, after this time, the family had little influence in Jewish life. See EJ Vol. V, cols. 261-3.
