Ginza, widow of Manuele Challa

Ginza, a widow, does not seem to have children when she testates. Instead, she leaves her property to her nephew, a minor named Bracha Binna, who is the son of her late brother Gauiucio, who lives in Caltabellotta. She also names another Jew, Merdoc de Missina, to care for the estate under Bracha is of age. She also makes some other bequests.

The will was made on 5 January. On 17 January, an inventory of her estate was made and recorded by the same notary. (ASP Not. Nicolo Aprea, reg. 832, cc. 242r-244r; transcription in Simonsohn, Jews in Sicily, 11, 6967-6970)
