الوصف

Official letter from either the office of Yehoshuaʿ Maimonides (b. 1310– d. 1355) or his father Avraham II Maimonides (served 1300 to ca. 1316). (Goitein favors the latter, even though the same clerk wrote many more documents for Yehoshuaʿ. Cohen considers this Yehoshuaʿs.) This was written at the time of the Jewish New Year (usually late September) in which Yehoshuaʿ Nagid commands that a collection 'from the women' be taken up by two women, one of them the wife of the beadle Sulayman. The women are referred to as “house,” from the rabbinic idiom, “his house means his wife.” (Mark Cohen, Voice of the Poor, 195–98.) EMS.
