Description

Legal testimony (maḥḍar) from al-Maḥalla regarding kosher butchering. It seems that Shemarya ha-Kohen was granted the right to be sole butcher and another man entered into a legal agreement and swore an oath that he would not butcher — but now he has been witnessed violating that oath. The fact that there is a legal document on the back as well may suggest this was a page from a court notebook.
