This paper follows Pilar Pueyo’s article (1999) about the permits given in Zaragoza, and tries to examine the litterae accaptandi (permits to ask for charity) and more specifically the permits to ask forcharity from the bishops of Girona in order to redeem the christian captives in muslim North Africa (Barbaria). From 9th to 19th centuries, the coast of Girona’s Bishopric (now Costa Brava) was attacked by muslim berbers, which are recorded. This article tries to offer a better knowledge of these interestig notices until 15th century. We hope to continue this research sometime.
