ثيقة شرعيّة: AIU VII.D.60

الوصف

Legal document in Hebrew. Dated in the final third of Adar II 5415 AM (1655 CE). Location: Cairo. Moshe Kolon returns a deposit of jewelry to Zayn Shabābo (שבאבו). The deposit consisted of a pair of silver khalākhil/bells (probaby earrings) and עוקוץ– a type of jewelry that commonly appears in early modern dowry lists, but its exact meaning requires further research. Following the return of the deposit, Zayn releases Moshe from any further claim that might be brought against him in connection with the jewelry "specifically by his son the apostate" (ובפרט מבנו המומר). No further context is given as to why Zayn's unnamed son might raise legal issues over the transaction. There is a filing note on the last page, restating the nature of the deposit. The scribe Pineḥas לכנה signed as a witness; the second witness was Menaḥem Astrogno. Zayn Shababo signed as a consenting party. In later documents from the eighteenth century, the surname Shababo appears in documents with the nickname Zayn (שבאבו ידיע זיין): AIU VII.D.9 (PGPID 30508), AIU VII.D.104 (PGPID 30597). This may be a coincidence or an instance of a familial or individual nickname referencing a specific ancestor. MCD.
