Description
Bifolio of mercantile accounts. Dating: probably 11th century. The hand may be known (Nahray b. Nissim?). Mentions names such as Abū Isḥāq (Ibrāhīm) b. Farrāḥ; Abū Saʿīd; Ghālib;Abū l-Khayr; Yosef al-Khabbāz; Mūsā al-Thaqqāb; Abū l-Qāsim al-Naṭṭās(?). Detailing various expenses including for shipping goods between Fustat, Alexandria, and Rashīd. Mentions goods including lac and pepper. Mentions multiple fees associated with Dār Mānak (part of the customs complex in Fustat). Goitein's index card says that this is "partly in the hand of 'Nahray'" - indicating some doubt because the document mentions R. Nahrāy in the third person.
