Iaymo Guet of Naples leases his caravel, at anchor in the harbour of Trapani, to the following Jews: Nateni de Lu Taurello, Nissim Mayres, Sansono de Sansono, Xamuele Chirusi, Muxa Lu Presti, son of the late Busacca, master Abraam de Isac, Sabuto Chilfa, Busacca Cuxa and Xalomo Rabibi. Iaymo undertakes to allow on board his ship the Jews listed and their families as well as 225 other Jews, to be chosen by the nine signatories. Little children up to the age of 12 do not count, and 12-year olds count two as one. Iaymo also undertakes to carry the passengers’ food and baggage free of charge. He must not carry other Jews. The caravel is to sail to Naples within six days and disembark the Jews there. If some Jews wish to travel elsewhere in the kingdom of King Ferrante, Iaymo undertakes to transport them there and obtain the necessary safeguard granted to Genoese ships sailing from the port of Trapani. The total price agreed on is 225 florins, even if fewer than 225 Jews make the crossing. The charge for the transport of goods is to be one tarı` a kantar. Every family may take along a mattress, two sheets, a bedspread, a manageable (manisca) case measuring four to five palmi, and victuals as needed. All the food left over must be handed to the Jews on disembarkation. If some articles cannot be exported, Iaymo may load those of other persons. Iaymo is to provide sureties. The helm and sails of the caravel must remain under the control of the Jews until departure. Iaymo is to provide drinking water, wood and braziers for the duration of the trip. He is to put the ship’s dinghy at the disposal of the Jews for the unloading of their property. If the Jews are not expelled, the contract becomes null and void.

Gabriele promises to wait an extra three days beyond the date fixed for departure to enable the loading of the items needed by the Jews for the crossing to Naples: particularly a bed for each family. Wood and water were to be furnished free of charge. A dinghy was to be provided for the unloading of the Jews’ property. The Jews were to be allowed to take with them a case, food and wine. Gabriel also undertakes to make at his expense wooden “cabins” and to transport free of charge some poor Jews unable to pay the passage. The Jews promise to provide a passenger list of the 500 wishing to travel. The passage is to cost 20 tarı` a person. Those who take along cheese, wool, leather, wax, corals and butter were to be charged three tarı` a kantar. The charge for the transport of bedsheets, bedspreads, towels, carpets, tin, copper, similar metals and cloth was to be one ducat for three kantars, at the rate of 12 tarı` a ducat. Payment was to be made either in Trapani before departure, or in Naples on arrival. Children aged seven or over were to count two as one. The ship would wait until 15 October if the expulsion date was to be extended, but would cost the Jews two ounces a day. Beyond that date the contract would become void and Gabriele could lease the boat to other Jews. Bibliography: Scandaliato, Trapani, p. 192.

Fariono wanted to regain possession for his sister Mulchayra of a small house sold by Samuel Rizu to Maxalufo de Iuda, his fellow Jews. Tommaso had denied Fariono’s motion because he had failed to make a deposit. Pietro de Manzo, a civil judge of Monte San Giuliano, responds to Fariono’s protest on behalf of his sister Mulchayra. Being a lay (idiota) judge, he knew nothing about the case, except that at the time he served on the court there appeared Nicolo` de Benivegna and deposited the value of the little house on Fariono’s behalf. Hence he cannot testify in regard to Tommaso’s contention that Fariono withdrew his claim.

Sabet de Mazara and David de Xammaria, prothi of the Jewish community of Monte San Giuliano, and David Balbu, Challufo Chirusi, Machalufo de Beniamin and Mordachay Lu Presti, councillors (consiliari) of the community, lodge a protest against Iosep Greco, Nachono de Fariono, Iuffo de Iona and Chayono de Iuda, collectors of the 50 ounces currently imposed on the community. They accuse the collectors of hiding their activities from the rest of the community, to the latter’s detriment. They must make their activities transparent, on pain of the usual penalties. Iuffo de Iona, a Jew of Monte San Giuliano, rejects the protest lodged against him by the prothi of the community. They had demanded that he present himself at the bank of Antonio de Stefano and pay the tax he had collected. He was prepared to pay. Chayono de Iona responds that he was willing to pay the community the amount he had collected. The prothi were at fault for not cashing the tax payments.

Fariono de Fariono, a Jew of Monte San Giuliano, acting for master Nachono de Fariono, his father, lodges a protest against the prothi Sabet de Mazara and David de Xammaria. Nachono, a tax collector of the community, claims that some Jews listed as taxpayers were insolvent and in prison, while others no longer have property in Monte San Giuliano. He demands that the officials issue him with a document showing the sums for which they were liable to protect him from possible claims. The prothi respond that the Jews who had absented themselves from Monte San Giuliano would be made to pay on their return. As for those in prison, it was the collector’s job to make them pay.

They must not oppose the orders issued by the master secreto to that effect, following the abolition of the office of supreme judge of the Jewish communities, last held by master Iasue.

Iacobo had leased his boat, Santa Maria, manned by sailors and fully equipped, to Gaudio in return for eight ounces. He had also lent him another eight ounces, as spelled out in a contract drawn up in Palermo by the notary Symon de Ganassis. Iacobo had been waiting a while for Gaudio on board the ship, anchored at Termini, but there was no sign of him. The delay was causing damage to Iacobo. He demands that Gaudio return on board forthwith to allow their setting sail within a day. If Gaudio fails to do so, Iacobo would be at liberty to lease the boat to another party and to demand payment of the 16 ounces. Gaudio responds, demanding a copy of the protest. Iacobo refuses to hand Gaudio a copy, and threatens immediate departure.

Brachono owned four carati of the plant, and had invested 25 ounces in his portion. Following the catch and the packing of the fish in barrels, Brachono had asked Abiduto to keep an eye on the proceedings, and to see to it that he is consigned his share of tunny and roe. Abiduto had failed to do so. Brachano demands that Abdito show him the accounts of the plant, on pain of a fine of 100 ounces to the Crown and another 100 ounces to Antonio Melchior de Robelles, lord of Termini. Abiduto responds that he was not the owner of the plant. He was only the administrator for the real owner, Antonio de Bayamunti. Although he knew that Brachono owned a share in the plant, he had never made an agreement with him. Therefore, he denies responsibility, and suggests that Brachono apply to the right party.

Iacobo de Bruno protests against Brachono Baro, a Jew. Brachono had undertaken to make the nails needed for a boat which was being built for Iacobo. He had paid Brachono five ounces on account.

Iacobo demands damages, especially for the financial loss incurred for being unable to employ the boat during the tunny season. Brachono responds that he had not commited himself to delivery dates. Hence, as in the past, he would supply Iacobo only with the quantity of nails which he was able to make during a given time.

Muxa Susi, a Jew of Termini, protests against Giovanni de Salamone, a giurato of Termini. Giovanni had sequestered some goods in the shop of Disiata, Muxa’s mother, at the behest of Giovanni de Tegera, a relative of his. His purpose was to deprive Disiata of the shop. He had acted allegedly on the strength of a court order. However, the court had ordered the sequester not from Disiata, who was owner of the property, but from Emanuel lu Medicu, who had once rented the shop. Muxa had once before protested against Giovanni, to safeguard Disiata’s rights in the shop and its contents. Giovanni, furious at that, had Muxa imprisoned in the castle of Termini. Muxa demands his immediate release, on pain of a fine to the Crown and daily damages of 12 tarı`. Muxa replies to a response made by Giovanni, drawn by the notary Nicolo` de Bruno.
