Description

Legal document in Hebrew, or draft of one. The format is uncommon for early modern geniza documents. Location: Marrakesh (l. 9, במראכש). Dated Elul חרו׳׳ת ליפ׳׳ק but it's unclear how the scribe intended for the hundreds, tens, etc. places to be read. Mentions a prozbol financial instrument in l. 7. Involves Eliyyahu Asado(?). Signed by Yosef Abiṭbol and לש... ב.ח(?).
