Description

Beginning of a legal document. In the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe ha-Levi. Involves the moneychanger (al-shulḥani/al-ṣayrafī) Abū l-Ḥasan ʿAmram b. ʿEzra, the head of the Alexandrian congregation, who makes a declaration in favor of somebody important (חבר בסנהדרין גדולה). None of the substance of the document is preserved. The name Abū l-Ḥusayn also appears at upper left for some reason.
