الوصف

Bifolium from a court notebook. Fol. 1a: End of a legal query (ll. 1–4) and complete answer/responsum (ll. 5–19) in the case of Hilāl the husband of the son of the deceased female slave. The Jewish muqaddam lost 75 dinars to the wālī of the town owing to his own fault, and Hilāl is not responsible for this loss. The 40 mujalladāt (volumes) which Hilāl had taken from the estate of the deceased and which he had used for his litigation with the muqaddam are not his, and he has to pay for them to the heirs and to return the rest. The wālī acted illegally, but the muqaddam cannot blame anyone other than himself. Fols. 2r and 2v: Possibly more details about the same case, with a lot of details about silk.
