الوصف

Recto: Deed of sale. In Arabic script. Dating: ca. 530 AH (= 1135/36 CE). (However, Goitein read the year 55[.] AH somewhere, which would be 1155–64 CE.) Makārim b. Abū l-Faraj b. Yūsuf purchases 1/3 of a house. There is a lengthy physical description of the seller (whose name is lost): ‘a smooth forehead in which are wrinkles […] widely spaced incisors. On his right cheek there are two moles’. Also mentions the elder Sadīd al-Dawla Abū Saʿd, Abū l-Ḥasan the Samaritan, and Abū l-Ḥasan the financier (quṣṭāl). On verso, there is an undeciphered document in Arabic script, probably relating to the sale detailed on recto (PGPID 36493). (Information from Goitein’s index card and Khan.)
