الوصف

Legal record (#143) in a court register/pinqas from a Karaite beit din in Cairo (on f. 48r-v of Yevr.-Arab. I 328). Dated: the beginning of Shevat 5330 AM (1570 CE). Location: Bayt Ṣimḥa (Dār Ṣimḥa Synagogue, Cairo). Incomplete entry in which the judges and community members reassign the residence of Shemuʾel b. ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq al-Mawwardī, probably between properties that are both administered within the communal pious endowment. Members of the community testify that they have not seen Shemuʾel at his current residence and he is reassigned to live in a property that "is better than his (current) house." The upper 4 or 5 lines of this entry on 48v verso are covered by a torn page fragment in the Ktiv images. The entry mentions the "keeping of Shabbat" in connection with these arrangements. MCD
