Description

Accounts related to commerce in silk on a bifolium that is undated yet can be estimated as late-18th to early-19th-century given the presence of Meʾīr ben Naʾīm's name and the general paleography of the document. The monetary sums are expressed in silver "פצה" coinage. Many partners in trade are listed such as: Avraham Yaʿabeṣ, Ḥajj Ḥasan Miʾmar[?], Yaʿaqov Portos, and Moshe Hakīm. On the left page of the bifolium the financial instrument "polisa / פוליסה", common in moneylending, is mentioned. Date: 18th c or 19th c. MCD.
