Tammuz 5404 Anno Mundi (5 July 1644–2 August 1644 CE)

Primary language

Judaeo-Arabic

Accounts in Judaeo-Arabic. Dated in one of the diagonal entries in the middle of the recto: Tammuz 5404 AM (1644 CE), but the exact day is illegible along a paper fold. The accounts are detailed and well-preserved enough that there may be an Islamic-calender year equivalent on the recto or verso (one of the entries gives the month Muḥarram). There are also few blocks of text in paragraph form. One entry on the recto mentions Cairo's Nile port of Būlāq.

Accounts, early modern. One of the names on the verso is Muḥammad Jalabī (Çelebi) Muḥasebeci ("the Accountant" in Turkish). The entries include various cooking and kitchen ware items: "אצוחון [sic] אלקאדי" (the qadi's plates/bowls); "טנגרא סגיר" (little jar); "אבריק מוסה אמון" (Musa Amon's pitcher); "צוחון עגמי" (Persian plates/bowls). These entries point to the likelihood that the accounts are connected to a ceramics production and/or long-distance commerce in such goods.
