Legal document AIU VII.D.9

Description

Bifolium from a late Hebrew register of monetary transactions. Every time the date appears it contains a tricky ligature, Kislev 5496 AM = 1735 CE. This reading of the final ligature as צו is confirmed by the scribe's rendering of the common honorific יצ׳׳ו. Many names are given throughout. The signatories for respective entries are David Samḥūn, Avraham ha-Levi, Aharon Ḥanūn, and Yosef Beirav. One of the entries is about the betrothal of Yaʿaqov Orta b. Mordekhai and Ruḥama (?) bt. Ḥayyim Mizraḥi. Needs further examination.
