الوصف

Legal query. Dating: Early 13th century (per Goitein). Concerning the wife of a Kohen who traveled two or three times without letting her know how long he would remain absent or leaving her sufficient food. She swore "oaths frightening the mountains" (אימאן תרעד אלגבאל) that after his return she would not remain with him. The fact of his being a kohen is mentioned because a kohen is forbidden to marry a divorcée. It was common for couples to divorce and then remarry, so (as Friedman points out) "the sages were reluctant to sanction a Kohen's divorce and attempted to delay such actions (see, e.g., M. Ket. 7:1)." The empty space at the bottom of the page was probably left to write the responsum. (Information from Goitein's note card and from Friedman, "Divorce upon the Wife's Demand.")

Recto

  1. What does our lord—may his splendour be exalted and his honour increase—say concerning 

  2. a woman whose husband, a Kohen, has travelled, once, twice,  

  3. and three times. She didn't know the times of his travelling. He  didn't  

  4. leave her anything to eat or drink.  

  5. She then swore by oaths that would make the mountains tremble that she  

  6. would not remain with him after this time. Whenever anyone  

  7. speaks to her to reconcile with him, she renews her oaths that  

  8. she won't stay with him.
