Description

Trousseau list and wedding outfit for a poor woman, perhaps an orphan. The man is also very poor. The list is to be understood thus: ll. 1–10: what should be expended. ll. 11–13: what actually came in. The early marriage payment: 20 dirhams(!). The rest: God will take care of it. (Information from Goitein’s index card)
