purely testimonial aid?
I think this can be read as symbolic aid, so the context would be important.
Here is the context:
Se ha dirigido a un grupo de élite de siete alumnos e impartido por Miriam Villar y Maria Jesús Jiménez, con una ayuda mía puramente testimonial. Han hecho un gran trabajo.
Nope. You were right the first time.
I think "testimonial" here means "observer" or "witness", as in, she was present in a supportive, observatory role rather than got involved.
Sure. I would agree with translating it as minor or unimportant since the speaker is being modest. Before having context, I thought it possible the speaker was being sarcastic about aid provided by someone else as in "the government provided only symbolic aid" really implying no aid at all.
