Description

Engagement document issued in Cairo. Dated 5604 AM (1843/1844 CE). The location "in the home of the bride" is mentioned in the lower left corner of the recto, but the context is not clear given the missing section. Sums of 15,000 gurush and 40,000 gurush are mentioned in the opening lines. The difficult witness signature that's visible is that of R. Yosef b. Moshe al-Gazi (הצעיר יוסף משה אלגאזי). For additional confirmation of the nomenclature in this rabbinic signature, see the same name in the document: AIU VII.D.100 (PGPID 30594). MCD.
