8 Elul 5588 Anno Mundi (18 August 1828 CE)

Accounts in Ladino dated in the first line of the recto as 8 Elul 5588 AM which is 18 August 1828CE. There are many detailed entries accompanying the numerical calculations and one in particular on the recto offers a sense of their purpose: "del libro de lo ke me deven la gente / from the book of what people owe me" (l. 6-7r). This phrase can be found throughout other entries on the recto and verso, thus pointing to the likelihood that many of these figures express debts owed.

In its present state, the account consists of a single vertical bifolio (a format typically used in Fatimid accounting), which now contains only the details of the production of the village of Basūṭ Nahīsah. Originally, however, the account was also meant to contain details of the production of the other four villages, which implies either that a part of the account is missing or that the account was left unfinished. […] In lines 17–19, the scribe was supposed to sum up and account for the whole agricultural production of the five villages after each new entry (min al-ghallāt: qamḥ, šaʿīr, fūl).

Given that the paleography of these accounts could be sixteenth-century, the Meir Gabizon referenced here may be the well-known rabbi who died c. 1622 CE. For other potential references to R. Meʾir Gāviṣon, see: ENA 3669.3 (PGPID 34284) and ENA NS 54.7 (PGPID 11587). For another possible reference to Avraham Yerushalmi, see: ENA 3669.1 (PGPID 34283).
