Notarial protest lodged by master Moyse Actuni, a Jewish physician of Messina, against Azara Taguil, a Jewish citizen of Palermo, for having failed to render accounts of a partnership between them as per contract drawn up on 8.3.1491 by the notary Matheo Fallera. The partnership was to last for three years, starting in November of 1489. The purpose of the venture was to trade in cloth and other goods. Each of the partners was to invest 40 ounces. In the end Moyse invested 150 ounces. After adding [estimated] prot, his share in the partnership came to some 200 ounces. Azara failed to invest even his 40 ounces. Therefore he was entitled to wages only and not to a share of the prot. He refused to render accounts thus preventing Moyse from carrying out the viceroy’s orders [in connection with the expulsion of the Jews]. Moyse demands that Azara does so forthwith. Otherwise Moyse would ...tam dictum capitale quam lucrum proventum ex dixta societate sibi spectantem et tangentem, et dicta debita seu nomina debitorum, omnique venturo tempore in quibuscumque mundi partibus recuperare et habere a dicto Azara et super bonis suis propriis...

On 10.12.1476 a matrimonal agreement had been signed whereby Dolce, daughter of Siminto and Ricca Sabbatino, was to marry Iosep, son of Xibiten Gibei, all Jews. The marriage had been neither consummated nor suspended. By its terms both parents-in-law had promised dowries to the young couple. Xibiten had promised to give the couple 100 ounces. Siminto had to reduce his contribution. Consequently Xibiten too reduces his part. Iosep hereby returns to his father the excess sum. [Doc. damaged].

These had not been paid owing to the plague, which had caused the well-off to leave town. The council decides to raise the amount needed by imposing a tax on wine or the like. Attached are the minutes of the meeting, giving the views and votes of the members, 118 in all. [Doc. damaged].

Ysac Sala, a Jewish citizen of Palermo, declares that in the previous year he had lodged a notarial protest against Muxa Aurichi, Farrugio Ysac and Bracha Cuyno, the ofciating prothi of the Jewish community in Palermo. He claimed exemption from taxes on the strength of privileges granted his forbears, Lia and Xamuele Sala, by King Martin and conrmed by King Alphonso. As a result the community desisted from collecting taxes from him. Now two of the new prothi, Ysac Sacerdoto So and Salamon Magaseni (Ysac Sala himself was the third) had again demanded taxes from him and had sequestered some of his property. Ysac Sala in turn demands that his fellow prothi lift the sequester and recognize his exemption from taxes. Ysac Sacerdotu So replies that Ysac Sala’s name does not appear on the community’s list of privileged individuals enjoying exemption from taxes and that the ledgers of the community show that he had always paid taxes. He was willing to lift the sequester only on explicit orders of the viceroy. Attached is a declaration by Antonio Trombecta, royal porterius that Ysac Sala and Ysac Sacerdoto So appeared before Guillelmo Puiades, one of the viceroys, and that the viceroy ruled that Ysac Sala was to pay taxes. Note: The Doc. is dated IX Indiction, i.e. 1476, and 1478 (probably a scribe’s error). For King Martin’s privilege, see above, Docs. 1667, 1717, 1803. Ysac Sala was protho alongside Ysac Sacerdoto So and Salamon Magaseni, see below, foll. page.

The ve conducted with them negotiations to transport Jews to Naples and to Bivona in Calabria. The price agreed on was 50 ounces plus two full casks of wine and two cows for each barque. The ve did little to carry out the agreement and “muttered” that they preferred some Genoese ships. The masters demand that the Jews abide by the terms of the agreement reached without further ado. They threaten to hold the Jews responsible for damages caused by the delay. The Jewish representatives replied that they had not reached a nal decision, that the barques could not carry all the departing Jews and that they could strike a better bargain with the Genoese ships. Therefore they had not concluded anything with the masters of the barques.

9122

Sicily They also point out that the masters of the barques sustained no damage because of the delay, since bad weather conditions prevented their departure anyway. In short, they preferred the Genoese boats and were going to take passage with them.

A lawsuit between master Busacca Sacca and master Brachono de La Vaccara, Jews of Trapani, was pending before the captain and iusticiario of Trapani. Busacca refused to have Brachono apprentice Busacca’s son Muxa and train him as coral worker, although a Hebrew contract to that effect had been drawn up between the parties by Fariono de Lu Presti, chasen. The reason was that Brachono wanted to employ Muxa also in the workshop of others, whereas Busacca insisted that he do so only in his own establishment. The parties agree that Muxa may go to work also in other workshops as long as Brachono is present. If Brachono leaves those premises, Muxa is to leave with him. Note: The Doc. is partly washed out.

Protest lodged by Sabet Lu Taurellu and Liuccio Chirusi, acting for the Jewish community in Monte San Giuliano, against Giovanni de Simone, appointed by the magistri racionali of Sicily to deal with the dispute between Pietro de Ligorio and the Jewish community over the gisia. Giovanni is alleged to have interrogated master Machalufo Laurichi and Muxa de Benyamino, also representatives of the Jewish community, contrary to the rules of procedure. Sabet and Liuccio demand that Giovanni desist, on pain of a ne of 20 ounces. Giovanni de Simone rejects the protest, but agrees to give in to their demand to avoid causing damage to the interests of the community. Sabet Pelli and Machalufo Laurichi, citizens of Monte San Giuliano, prothi of the Jewish community, lodge a protest against Giovanni de Simone. They accuse him of having failed to listen to the community’s contention to have the gisia reduced owing to the decrease in the number of the Jews in Monte San Giuliano. They demand that the commissioner proceed as provided in law, on pain of a ne. Pietro in turn argued that,on the contrary, the number of Jews in Monte San Giuliano had increased. The community demands that the commissioner hear evidence and claim damages, on pain of a ne. Giovanni rejects the protest, and decribes it as false and impertinent. He demands that the community obey his orders.

Muxa Xac, acting for the vicesecreto of Trapani, sequestered an expensive box from Giovanni Gunsalvo to cover a debt of 28.4Ω tar`. Muxa had paid him the sum for services at the tunny plant of Castellammare del Golfo. Giovanni had failed to carry out the work. Michele de Madio, Giovanni’s brother-in-law, promises to settle the debt and Muxa transfers the box to him.

Luccio Cuyno, a Jew of Trapani, acting also for his daughter Disiata, widow of Xamuel Cuyno, lodges a protest against Antonio Giacomo Speciale. A Jewess accused Xamuel of certain crimes. Antonio Giacomo was commissioned to investigate the accusation. Involved were also Zacharuna, Luccio’s wife, and Abitalla, their slave. Although Xamuele had paid a composition of 80 ounces, Antonio Giacomo, to cover his expenses, had sequestered the dowry of Disiata and property belonging to Zacharuna and Abitalla. Antonio Giacomo responds that he was entitled to do so by virtue of his appointment by the viceroy.

Subsequently Muxa had obtained from the viceroy and from the magistri racionali a ruling, whereby also Jewish physicians must serve as communal ofcers and were subject to the same obligations as other members of the community. Nonetheless, Muxa had been compelled to deposit a pledge, although by the terms of the community’s charter the affair had to come before the spiritual judges of the community [and not the captain], as spelled out in a privilege granted Moyse Bonavogla, the late supreme judge of the Jews. Hence the three had better withdraw their complaint to the captain, otherwise they would be subject to the sanctions provided for by Jewish law. Xamuel Mayres responds that he lodged his complaint with the captain because Muxa was one of these spiritual judges together with Sadono Sala, Xamuel’s sworn enemy. Therefore he was unable to obtain justice by having recourse to the Jewish court. Anyway, he claims, that in a case like this, one could apply to either court.

Two of the officials reply that they had been justified in diverting the money. Note: Sparti, Corallo, reports another numbering of this notary’s les. Our reg. 2 corresponds to his 8708 and so on.
