Description

Legal declaration, perhaps 16th- or 17th-century. Signed by Nissim b. al-ʿAnkari stating that in the assembly of the heads of the community, the slaughterer Yeruḥam swore not to encroach on the domain of the slaughterer Shabbetay, and in turn Shabbetay would give 3 parts of every 10 (of what?). If either of the slaughterers asks the other to substitute for him, the substitute is not to encroach or touch the share of the other. The name Nissim b. al-ʿAnkari appears in other geniza fragments, perhaps related to the same communal rabbi: T-S NS 320.114 (PGPID 25383); Yevr. II A 293. (Information from Avraham David's transcription and FGP description)

  1. ב׳׳ה 
  2. במעמד ראשי הקהל יצ׳׳ו הסכימו ירוחם ושבתי
  3. בנקיטת חפץ ובשבועה שלא יכנס ירוחם בגבול
  4. שבתי בקשר השחיטת ושבתי יתן לו מכל עשרה
  5. חלקים המגיעים לו שלשה עוד הסכימו שאם אחד
  6. מן השוחטים הנזכרים ירצה לשלוח אחד מהם לשחוט
  7. במקומו אין לחבירו ליכנס בתחומו ולא בחלק המגיע
  8. לו ומה שהיה כפי פרכת ושמתי פדות בין עמי
  9. נסים ן׳ אלענקרי
