Description

Late betrothal document between Esther [...] bt. Se. Yaʿaqov ʿAdda and Se. Yosef פיחה (?), listing conditions. The word "contante" indicates what is "counted" or the "cash" valuation of dowry items. The mention of sums in Ottoman silver guruş suggest that the dating of this document is 18th- or 19th-century (no earlier than 1690 CE when this coinage first entered production).
