Description

Fragment of a ketubba. In the hand of Mevorakh b. Natan (fl. 1150-81), part of his signature survives. Some of the items of the dowry and their values are listed. Goitein's index card emphasizes that as this an inventory (as opposed to a dowry list?), the prices are real. The sum of thirty dinars according to the custom of the land is mentioned. Witnesses: Berakho[t b. Yefet] MKTM, Yishaq b. [...], Menashshe b. [...], Mevorakh b. Natan. On verso there are jottings of accounts in Arabic script and Greek/Coptic numerals. (Information in part from Goitein’s index card)
