Description

Fragment from a collection of legal formularies in the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe (1100–38 CE). The document on recto concerns the manumission of an enslaved woman, her marriage, and her 'checking' (in terms of proper behaviors for a Jewish woman). On verso there is a different formulary for a ketubba. (Information from Yagur's edition.)
