Description

Fragment from the bottom of a ketubba. Dating: mid-12th century. Refers to a sum of 20 dinars as part of the marriage payments and refers to the groom's "previous wife." Also contains the unusual phrase אלדי צדקה עליהא ואלדהא. The witness and validation sections at the bottom are quite jumbled - the parchment is crumpled in places and hidden behinds folds in other places. Names of witnesses and/or validating judges: - Nadiv ha-Parnas Rosh ha-Parnasim - Berakhot ha-Ḥazzan [...] ha-Levi - [...] ha-Kohen b. Yeḥezqel - Berakhot b. Shela ha-Kohen - Meshullam b. Yaʿaqov - Yaʿaqov ha-Kohen b. [...] - Hillel b. Sadoq Av Bet Din - Shemuʾel b. Saʿadya ha-Levi
