In his will, Nicholau Arles, retired shopkeeper of cloths and silks in Barcelona ('Nicholau arles maior de dies botigues de draps y sedes ciutada de Barcelna detingut de malaltia corporal de la qual tem morir'), specifies that he wishes to be buried in the church of Sta Maria del Mar, in the tomb he has arranged in the Capella de S. Tomas. He wants the Office and Mass of the BVM to be celebrated on the first day, with organ, and also with the new vestments he has donated, and on the other days he wants Requiem Masses ('[esglesia] en la qual sepultura vull sia celebrada la primer [?] dia lo offici o missa de nostra senyora ab orguens e ab los vestiments que yo he percinats [?] de fer en aquella e les altres dies Requiem'). He also stipulates a number of trentenaris and bequests to other churches.
