Description

Accounts in Judaeo-Arabic and Hebrew alphanumerals with intermittent usage of Western Arabic numerals. Dating: 16th-century or later based on the paleography. The entries are extensive, mentioning a variety of names and goods: one of which (פירפין) appears at least three times on the recto. Steingass' Persian dictionary lists "ماه فرفين" as the "zedoary" aka white turmeric, an edible plant with various medicinal uses (Steingass 1146)– but this potential translation is tentative. Requires further examination. MCD.
