Description

Legal query addressed to Rabbenu Moshe ha-Rav ha-Gadol be-Yisraʾel. Concerning a man who is seeking repayment of a debt from another based on a 14-year-old contract, but he has lost the contract and he wants the defendant to take an oath. Should the plaintiff also be obligated to take an oath that he lost the contract? There are a few words in Arabic on verso, probably unrelated.
