Abstract
In Valencia, in the year 1380, the death of a child aged six unleashes hatred and fear. A Jewish man is accused of throwing a stone at him from his window. The Criminal Justice immediately opens a suit against him and, with amazing speed, pronounces sentence in less than three months. The prosecution, the defence and the witnesses provide a short but splendid picture of the lives of subordinate people in the lower classes, a picture that speaks of values, sociability and solidarity, unsteady roots and the always delicate relationship between Jews and Christians.

Summary
El fill de Pere Esteve, el flequer de la plaça de la Figuera, ha eixit a jugar cap a l’hora tèrcia, l’hora de missa solta, abans que les gents se dinassen. No té més que sis anys Periconet, i si el seu pare no l’ha afermat amb cap altre artesà i campa a lloure pel carrer, doncs, és perquè més prompte que tard s’iniciarà, si és que no ho ha fet ja, en l’ofici de la fleca. Ab un gocet, menant-lo ab una corda al coll, tal com los fadrins fan, per les cases del dit pare seu, ço és, per lo carrer de la juheria appellat de Sent Thomàs, qui va a Sent Johan del Espital al cantó de les cases del honrat en Guillem Siscar.
