Description

Megillat Miṣrayim?, relating to the catastrophic events under the caliph al-Ḥākim in 1012 CE or, perhaps, those that took place under the separatist Ottoman governor Ahmad Pasha in 1524 CE. The latter events were recounted each year in Cairo's synagogues on 27–28 Adar as part of a second Purim celebration of salvation from Ahmad Pasha's persecution of the Jewish community.
