Description

Marriage contract (ketubba). Groom: Yiftaḥ. Ten dinars are mentioned, and this seems to be the entire obligation. Dated: 24 Adar II 1551 Seleucid, which is 1240 CE (though Goitein's index card suggests that he preferred 1340 CE, for unclear reasons). (Information from CUDL and Goitein’s index card)
