Ferrarius, Mosse, and Joseph, three Jewish brothers of Arles, appeared before the royal court in Arles to request an inventory of the goods of Jacob Salamon and Venguessona of Arles upon Venguessona’s death. Two years before the compilation of this record, on the 25th of January, 1439 (n.s.), Jacob and Venguessona had promised that if Venguessona were to predecease Jacob, the couple’s estate would be given to the brothers. In November 1440, Venguessona died, and the brothers appeared in court to activate the donation. The inventory includes an array of linens, both new and old, some tin kitchenware, and just a few garments, all made of dark fabric. Nonetheless, Jacob and Venguessona were not poor. Appended to the end of the inventory of objects is an inventory of outstanding debts, first those likely secured by contract, and then those secured by pawn. In total, the couple was owed more than 300 florins.
