In Carrer Marlet there is a tombstone that speaks of a donation made by Rabbi Xemuel ha-Sardí to the old hospital of El Call.

Certainly, given its richness, it was possible to allow the construction or sponsorship of the alms pyre referred to in the tombstone of Carrer Marlet of which we spoke suara, which contains the following text: ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ , translated by’ Fundació pia de rabí Xemuel ha-Sardí ‘, its light burns permanently . This is the translation that appears on a plaque under the tombstone, although the last three letters form an acrostic it is still a matter of discussion among specialists as it offers various possibilities for interpretation.
