Legal document: AIU VII.D.38 + AIU VII.D.65 + AIU VII.D.66

Description

Recto: Legal declaration from Cairo, 1737 CE (18 Shevat 5491), in which the witnesses testify that Shelomo b. David Valensi divorcd his wife Sarah bt. Mordekhay Ashkenazi. Much of the document deals with inheritance arrangements. This document is presumably a draft: lines are crossed out, and there are no signatures. The same scribe issued the document AIU VII.E.47 (PGPID 30349). Verso: On the right is a narrative (for legal purposes?) of events having to do with Berakha b. ____diya(?) known as ʿAbdallāh ʿAntabī and Mordekhay b. Shabbetay. There may also be a damaged reference to "the residents of Aleppo" in line 3 (ולתושבי אר[ם צו]בא יע׳׳א). On the left side of the bifolium there is a list headed "These are the names of the pieces of the dowry (nidonya) belonging to R. Saʿd (?) Cassuto." ASE/MCD.
