Description

This document records the marriage between Magdalena, daughter of a farmer from Sant Martí Vell, and Felip Rei, stonemason and housekeeper, son of a carpenter from Púbol. It is a direct witness to social and professional mobility in rural Catalonia in the 17th century. The case reflects the presence of specialized trades such as stone-cutting and their integration into the local economy. It also shows the importance of family and territorial ties in the configuration of rural communities and the transmission of trades.
