Description

Settlement between a husband and wife. Location: Fustat. Dated: 1 Elul 1645 Seleucid = 3 August 1334 CE. Shemuʾel b. ʿAbdallāh al-Kohen takes upon himself to provide his unnamed wife with clothing, 5.5 nuqra dirhams, and 0.5 nuqra dirhams daily until they move in together. Headed with an 'emet' and ending with a 've-shalom' rather than witness signatures—suggesting that this is a legal/administrative communication rather than a formal legal document. The handwriting has some resemblances to that of Yehoshuaʿ Maimonides (see PER H 129) but does not seem to be his.
