Agnesa, wife of Busacca Naguay

Agnesa testates while ill, naming her husband her universal heir and executor. She leaves donations to the synagogues in Palermo and Trapani, and to the burial society of Palermo. She leaves two silver Torah finials to the synagogue in Trapani (specifying that they be given in her and her husband's name) and names a man and his family to be guardians and maintainers of the finials for the synagogue.

Agnesa apparently had no children. She leaves her sister's three children sums "pro quolibet iure recognicionis sanguis." She also leaves a garment ("clamidem de Florencia") to her sister Charusa.
