Description

Legal document in the hand of Moshe b. Levi ha-Levi. Location: New Cairo. Dating: No later than 1195 CE, as it was written under the authority of the Gaʾon Sar Shalom ha-Levi. Concerning Yūsuf al-Ḍarīr ("the blind"). The portion preserved on T-S NS 290.73 mentions Abū Faḍāʾil; Abū l-Faḍl; and a payment of 50 dirhams/month. The portion on T-S NS 290.75 includes the phrase "we are all content with" (כלנא ראצין ב . . .). Several documents indicate that although Moshe lived in Qalyūb, he regularly came into Cairo for work (e.g., as a scribe) and to Fustat to see his wife and father and brother. On the scribe, see A. Elbaum, "Assembling a Life: Several Dozen New Fragments on Moshe b. Levi ha-Levi" (FOTM April 2020). Joins: Alan Elbaum and Amir Ashur.
