Abstract

This paper examines perceptions, attitudes and preparations for death in Seville between the end of the 14th and middle of the 15th centuries. It does so by analysing the formulas used in testaments and endowments preserved in several archives of the city, paying special attention to two parts: the invocations, preambles and professions of faith at the start of testaments; and the funeral rites and various religious services in memory of the deceased, as well as other pious legacies.
