Description

Legal document. Transfer of money to the poor of Jerusalem, 1085 CE. Shelomo b. Hayyim, one of the leaders of the Palestinian Jews, had forwarded 20 dinars to the Rabbanite Jews of Jerusalem. He attests having gotten his money back from those in charge of the compound known as Dar al-maqadisa in Fustat, dedicated to the poor of Jerusalem. The money was returned out of the rent collected from the tenants of the compound. (Information from Gil, Documents, pp. 212 #32)

  5. This sum had been transfered to me on his account by the Rabbanite Jews residing in Jerusalem, the Holy City, after 

  6. I had lent them 20 dinars against it. Now I have collected them and they are mine and nothing is left 

  7. (to my credit) with the people to whom the transfer was made by the Rabbanites of Jerusalem; I released them of it, a release through collection
