摘要:During the Late Middle Ages, Valencia became an important business centre, where foreign Jews arrived to the city to trade. It was a commerce that, apart from the land route, preferably used the seaway, even though of the risks of piracy. They and their goods came protected by a safe-conduct from the general Baile of the kingdom. The role of the conversos was very important in their commercial contacts. Apart from the Portuguese Jews, which I took care of in another study, they were predominantly North Africans, others adding up from the Granadan Sultanate, the Mediterranean islands (Sardinia, Sicily and Malta), Provence and Germany. A list of these Jews documented in Valencian sources, as well as an unpublished document that illustrates the activity of a Portuguese Jew in Valencia is attached as an appendix.
