Legal document: Yevr. II A 1250

Description

Karaite deed of testimony that a husband has delivered a bill of divorce to his wife. Location: Baghdad (l. 7, פה בגדאד) Dated: 6 Iyyar 5571 AM = 30 April 1811 CE. Husband: ʿAṭāʾ b. Murād ha-Levi (spelled מרייד with imāla, so maybe Murayyid). Wife: Sharḥ or maybe Seraḥ bt. David known as Davida ha-Levi .There are three witnesses: Sasson b. Mordekhay Msh/Ms...(?), Yaʿaqov Fetḥī b. ʿUbayd, and Sasson b. ...fifi(?) Maṣlīḥ. This shelfmark is currently catalogued in the Friedberg/NLI metadata as a get, however, based on its formulaic structure, this is likely an auxiliary document confirming that a get was received by Sharḥ/Seraḥ bt. David. For a clear example of an early modern Karaite get, see: Yevr. II A 1241/3 (PGPID 40244). MCD.
