الوصف

Legal document in Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. Dated: Thursday, 28 Av 1[...] Seleucid; the handwriting appears to be the same as T-S 8J6.19 (PGPID 2174) and Bodl. MS heb. b 12/3 (PGPID 6353), so likely ca. 1490s CE. Involves someone named Avraham Bū l-ʿĀʾish. Also invokes the authority of the Nagid (this would be Natan Sholal if the estimated dating is correct) and refers to the 'the judge of the Maʿaravim.' Evidently Avraham needs to send certain legal documents (a release/מחילה and a power of attorney/הרשאה) to Safed. However, he can't send the originals because of the danger that they will be lost en route. Therefore the documents are copied here — except that the copy was abandoned after a couple more lines.
