Profile and historiographical debate

[juçi aceyttuni ferrer]

This Arabic blacksmith was documented due to his repairing of the clapper of the bell from the cloister of La Seu Vella de Lleida. This clapper became damaged with the celebration in 1368 of the festivity of the Virgin of March. It is also known that this ferrer was connected to the workshop of the Portal Pintat (ALONSO, 1976). The documents notify that he provided the iron tools that were needed to place the gargoyle of the tower of La Seu Vella de Lleida (ARGILÉS, 1999).
