List or table: JRL SERIES C 22

Description

Lists in Judaeo-Arabic related to the household items and finances of Yiṣḥaq al-Yebdani[?] (recto) and Moshe Abzardil (verso). Based on the paleography and the latter's surname the fragment's dating can be estimated to the 18th or 19th centuries. The list related to Yebdani includes household items such as "פנגאן / coffee cup", "סכינה / knife", and "פנאר / lantern". The list related to Abzardil on the verso is more complex and appears to include more monetary calculations than the inventory-format of the recto. It is crucial to note that the l. 17v entry is dated according to Friday of the week of the Lecha-Lecha parsha reading (which is a format common in the JRL C Series for communal lists). It is unclear however, if this fragment too served a communal function or happened to rely on the same form of timekeeping. Date: 18th c or 19th c. MCD.
