Description

Deed of acknowledgment (iqrār) in Arabic script. Bū l-Faraj b. Yūsuf the Rabbanite Jew makes a declaration for Bū Saʿd b. [...] the Jew, probably that he owes him money for the rent of a shop/warehouse in Fustat. Dated: Shaʿbān 533 H = April/May 1139 CE. Needs examination for content. The foot of recto was reused for five oval rings enclosing the Hebrew word שיחטש (apparently magical). Verso contains multiple records of receipts of sums of money, probably related to recto. AA.
