Description

Recto: Legal document. Dated: Thursday, 17 Iyyar 5316 AM, which is 27 April 1556 CE. May be a copy or a version of a document originally produced in a Muslim court: mentions "the Mālikī court of al-Ṣāliḥiyya" in line 2– which was one of the ~15 qadi courts that operated in Cairo during the early modern period. Yosef Qalʿī owes Sar Yiṣḥaq 2000 medins every month. Eliezer Ashkenazi is involved as a guarantor. On verso there are additional notes, probably related to recto. At the bottom of the page it appears that the Sar acknowledges receipt of one of the monthly payments. Information in part from A. David's edition on FGP.
