Comentaris
Lliberta, de Barcelona. Conversa al catolicisme. Havia estat esclava del barber-cirurgià de Barcelona Lleonís Mestre (m. 1437) i havia comprat la llibertat pel sistema d'alforria. Era d'origen búlgar. Es dedicà a l'ofici de peller (confecció i revenda de roba vella). Feu testament el 19/08/1445, però més tard, ja malalta de mort, decidí fer-ne un altre, el l'1/02/1451, publicat dos dies després. La sobrevisqué un fill, Pere Safàbrega, instal·lat a Teià (Maresme).
