Description

Legal document. In Judaeo-Arabic. In the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe. Location: Fustat. Dating: Refers to the beginning of Ḥeshvan 1429 Seleucid, which is 1117 CE, but it is not immediately clear if this refers to a future or past date. The document narrates a protracted dispute which came about when Abū l-Faḍl Maṣliaḥ al-Ṣiqillī sued Abū l-Ḥusayn Yaḥyā al-Ḥalabī al-Ṣayrafī for a few dinars. It seems that this contract is laying out the terms under which Abū l-Ḥusayn will pay back the debt via Abū Saʿd [...] b. Naḥmān. (The debtor here, Abū l-Ḥusayn al-Ḥalabī al-Ṣayrafī, is also known from several other documents, e.g., ENA 3616.22, ENA 4011.72, ENA 4020.2, and T-S 8J4.9.)
