Works

He wrote a short treatise in Latin , the name of which was Quaestio disputata de licitudine contractus emptionis et venditionis censualis cum conditione revenditionis ('Controversial consideration of the legality of the contract of buying and selling the censals with the condition of resale'). It was copied and published by Josep Hernando i Delgado. The text used is taken from manuscript no. 42 from the Sant Cugat del Vallès monastery . This manuscript is now in the archives of the Crown of Aragon . In this little treatise he accepts the legitimacy of the censals and violaris . These would be the right to get a certain amount of money for a period or even for life after paying a price. They were very common in Catalonia and the Crown of Aragon during the Middle Ages . This subject was also widely debated in medieval canon law.

This book had a decisive influence on Francesc Eiximenis ' opinion on the legitimacy of the censals and violaris in his Tractat d'usura ('usury').
