- Title
THE REGULATIONS OF JAMES I CONCERNING THE JEWISH MONEYLENDERS: A PRELIMINARY REPORT.
- Authors
RIERA I SANS, JAUME
- Abstract
The discourse of the stereotype of the usurers of the Jews in the 13th century has been constructed without prior heuristic work on the relevant legislation. This article enumerates the constitutions and statutes dictated by James I regarding the usurers, and the usurers of the Jews, between 1228 and 1251, from shortly before to shortly after the conquest of the kingdoms of Majorca and Valencia. Surprisingly, there are fourteen of these, not included in any directory. The statutes are described in chronological order, the date and the territorial scope are established, along with the best copies and the prints that have made them accessible. Numerous confusions and defective interpretations are also corrected, and citations from non-existent statutes are reported.
