Description

Stella di Spoleto is married, but does not seem to have children. She dictates her will to the Jewish rabbi/notary Grandilio di Porto, who records it in Italian. In the will, she leaves 1 scudo to the confraternity known as the Compagnia of Ghemilut Hasadim for her funeral. She also leaves to her brother Sabato 102 sc.; to her niece 22 sc.; and 10 sc. to a woman non related to her. The rest goes to her husband.

Note from Kenneth Stow: Stella has a certain amount of property. This puts her in the ghetto’s small “middle-class.”
