Abstract

This article looks at the relations as neighbours between Cervera’s Christian majority and Jewish minority (approximately 10% of the town’s population) in the first quarter of the 15th century. The observations made are organised into five sections: the separation of the two communities within the town; how new Jewish residents were attracted; the protection of the Jews against third parties; the Jews’ adherence to the rules; and the work some Jews did for the municipal authorities. The article comes with a bibliography of cited works and transcriptions of the 58 documents referred to.
