Primary language

One of the entries mentions "a period of two years, from Sivan [4]813 to Sivan [4]815." So presumably these accounts date to shortly before Sivan 4813 AM, which is 1053 CE.

15 Tammuz 5494 Anno Mundi (16 July 1734 CE)

Primary language

Ladino

Commercial accounts in Ladino dated July 1734 CE (15 Tammuz 5494 AM). […] The second line of the heading mentions a "granada Ingleza" (גראנאדה אינגליזה) that will be "delivered in Livorno to Se[nyor] Yaʿacov Abastado" (granada Ingleza a entregaren Liorne). In this context it seems unlikely that "granada" meant "English pomegranate" or "English hand grenade[!]"[…] Line 9 clearly referencess a shipping vessel in the entry "por nolo di djerma." The latter term "djerma" refers to a class of "small flat-boats that allowed the transport of cargo... to the mouth of the Nile" before goods were transferred onto bigger sea-borne vessels.
