Description

Two fragments of a court record written by Halfon b. Menashshe ha-Levi (1100–38 CE). There is a detailed narrative of a quarrel over a house. There is text on both sides, and some lines are crossed out. One side: Refers to a woman; her son Abū l-Ḥasan; and someone upset that she wants to sell the house. They went to the Jewish court, then there was some sort of gathering outside of the court, but apparently not yet in the Muslim courts. The dispute involves 30-some dinars. The other side: Refers to a knife (? sikkīn), a declaration made by Abū l-Surūr, probably the same sum of 30-some dinars, and a threat to resort to Muslim courts. Someone then says, "My mother then said...." There is a reference to handing over a document as a pledge (rahn). Probable join with JRL SERIES B 7280: Alan Elbaum. AA. ASE.
