الوصف

Recto: part of a deed of sale in which Michal (מיכל) bat Yeshuʿa the dyer sells her female slave Riḍā to Yaʿaqov b. Abraham b. ʿAllān (עלאן), an old and needy man to whom the Bet Din have given permission to keep a female slave, for 13 dinars. Also mentions the sons of Sahl b. Abraham b. Ezekiel and Abraham the orphan b. Naḥman (נחמאן). The date is not preserved. The upper lines mention two more enslaved people: Ẓarf and her son Muwaffaq. A faded note on verso mentions Yehoshuaʿ ha-Kohen, and does not appear to be related to the text on recto. (Information from Craig Perry and CUDL) NB: An earlier description in the PGP identified the enslaved person sold by Michal as Bidʿa ‘Innovation’, also called ‘Gazelle’.
