Legal document: BL OR 10589.8 + T-S NS 32.50 + T-S NS 226.145

Description

List of people to be excommunicated ('by name'/באסם). On T-S NS 226.145 left halves of ~7 entries are preserved. "In the bar (mashraba) with... and her children... a place with drunk people... between her and them..." With T-S NS 32.50, we now have the right halves of 3 of the original entries and the right halves of 2 new entries. 2 of the entries are now complete (if not entirely clear): “Every woman who wraps a turban or braids her hair [….], even in her own house" and "Every man who is able to marry but does not do so because he is too busy with sinful things." BL OR 10589.8 contains the left halves of ~4 entries, mentioning issues such as the payment of the capitation tax and suing fellow Jews in Muslim courts. ASE T-S NS 32.50 and T-S NS 226.145 join directly. BL OR 10589.8 appears to be an indirect join from the top of the document. Joins: Alan Elbaum
