Document date

20 Rabīʿ al-Awwal 1070 Hijrī (5 December 1659 CE)

Primary language

Arabic

A Muslim court deed documenting the endowment of private property for communal purposes. […] The property dedicated is three quarters (line 3) of a house found “in protected Cairo, in the khut ḥārat al-yahūd in a dead-end street (darb ghayr nāfiḍ) used to be known as darb al-sharīf and currently known as darb al-kanīsa al-turkīyya” (line 4). The endowment should be used, so it seems, for the maintenance of the Turkish synagogue “mentioned above”, and “the poor among the community of the European Jews (al-masākīn min tāʾifat al-yahūd al-faranj)” (line 23).
