The Jewish presence in Valencia along with much of Spain persisted
for many centuries under both Christian and Muslim rulers until
coming to an end with the order of expulsion in 1492. In that time
Jews lived in both large cities as well as in small towns. Included
here is a list of Jews who lived in the towns of Santa Columa de
Queralt and worked as money lenders there. As well as Jews who
had paid taxes in the town of Castellon De la Plana.
Since both money lending and taxes involved money they were activities
for which solid records where kept. The records in this case appear
to have been kept in Latin and the spellings of the names are
presented as they appear in the source volumes. All of the original
documents are in Latin.
Most of the names are of men but some women do show up in the list,
they are marked with a "(f)" and in red.
