Description

Legal document(s) in Judaeo-Arabic. Recto and verso appear to be in different hands. Recto mentions the Qāḍī Ibn ʿAmmār and R. Yiṣḥaq. Might mention business in al-Mahdiyya (per an earlier description but it's immediately clear where this is written). The document on verso specifies the location as Alexandria and is dated 4856 AM = 1095/96 CE. (It looks like בתתנו is written but the only way to make sense of this is as דתתנו.) Mentions people such as Yūsuf and Abū Saʿīd Maymūn.
