Jamila, widow of Mosse Salerno: Zaragoza, 1401
Subject
Jamila, widow of Mosse Salerno
Description
Jamila and her late husband had four sons. Three of them remained Jewish (Juce, Acach, and Azmel), while one (Solomon-cum-Salvador) chose baptism and became Christian. In her will, Jamila left all four sons the amount stipulated for all legitimate sons -- 20 sueldos.
Beyond that, she gave the Christian son (Solomon/Salvador) 380 sueldos, which he needed to get from repayment of debts that were owed to his mother. She then divided her remaining assets among the three Jewish children. As Blasco Martínez points out (see "Mujeres judías," 85), we do not know the total value of the estate, so we cannot know exactly how much Salvador received in comparison to his brothers. But we can likely guess that the estate left the Jewish brothers considerably more than the converted brother. Moreover, it is notable that Salvador's lump sum had to be recovered from his mother's debtors.
Other documentary evidence suggests that Jamila died sometime before 14 January 1403.
