Description

Recto: Fragment from a marriage document, probably a ketubba, for Sitt al-Kull, in the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe. BL OR 5566A.1 is also a fragment of a ketubba for Sitt al-Kull in the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe, but these do not appear to be a join. Perhaps this fragment is her dowry list? Or different marriages, or different women? Verso: Fragmentary phrases from letters copied haphazardly. Notes added by MR from the AIU in person: a narrow strip from the middle or left-hand side of the ketubba, apparently cut before being reused on verso; but the shape suggests that it was reused in a book-binding. However, the glue-marks appear to be from conservation tape. Parchment, ketubba written on the hair side.
