List or table: JRL SERIES C 19

Description

Lists in Judaeo-Arabic of "מצרופ/expenses" on food items organized according to weeks of the liturgical calendar that are indicated by their respective parsha readings (i.e. "Eikev/עקב" on recto and "Pinechas/פינחס" on verso). The purpose of this list may have been communal and based on the paleography and method of timekeeping, the fragment likely dates to the 18th or 19th centuries. The food items and related goods in the lists include: "לחם/meat" (recto and verso), "משמש/apricots" (l. 7r), "פחם/charcoal" (l. 16r), and other itemized goods that correspond with monetary figures in "פצה/silver" (which is a label for the right column in each list). On the verso the first name Efraim is mentioned at the end of each list in the phrase "ואצל דאלך מן ס׳ אפראים/ this is being paid by S[eñor] Efraim". MCD.
