Description

Marriage document. A beautiful ornamented ketubah, probably on vellum, from Rashid, Egypt. Dated 5544 AM which is 1783/1784 CE. The groom’s name is Avraham, the bride’s name is not preserved. The bride's legal status is listed as batula and bogeret. The text is faded, and can be partially deciphered. The marriage gift is 60,000 medin - a common Ottoman currency of this period. The witnesses are Aharon Tawil and Moshe Fatah (?). Connected with ENA 3306.2 - which is the ‘bill of conditions’ – שטר תנאים of the same couple, by the same hand and layout, probably written at the same time of the ketubah itself. Among the conditions we can find the groom’s promise not to take another wife. Hebrew and Aramaic. AA
