Stele of Regina, widow of Shelomoh Salem

Provenance	Girona
Chronology	Around the mid-15th century
Material	Limestone
Record	MHJ083
Section	Cemetery

No information about Regina has been found. We know that she was a widow because the epitaph says «May they have their part in the Garden of Eden», referring to both members of the couple. Although the name Salem does not appear in the documentation from Girona, the name Salom does: Shelomoh Salom was a Jew who lived in the second half of the 14th century, before 1391; his name appears in a paper notebook in which payments made towards the aid tax were recorded.

Translation:
Here is the gravestone of the honorable
Regina, wife of the leader Shelomoh
Salem. May they have their part in the Garden of Eden. Amen.
