Description

Fragment of a late ketubba, with sums in muayyadis, including the stipulation that the husband will not take a second wife without the bride's consent. The mention of this specific coinage type makes it possible to estimate the dating as post-1415 CE, likely fifteenth or sixteenth-century based on the paleography. The dowry list spans at least four lines, ll. 12-15. The faint remant of signature is visible in the lower right corner, probably ending with the surname ha-Kohen.
