Description

Letter from the court, in Togarma (Istanbul?), to Moshe Abudarham, in Alexandria. In Hebrew. Dating: Second half of the 16th century, based on Avraham David's identification of the addressee. The letter informs Moshe that a woman named Simḥa, the wife of Yosef Lanyado, has testified that he owes her the 43 peraḥim that she had invested with him, "and she is crying 'violence!' against you" (cf. Jeremiah 20:8 and Job 19:7). The court orders Moshe, if what she testifies is true, to pay her back on pain of excommunication. Information from FGP.
