Description

Court document. Financial settlement between a husband and his wife? All the parties are Jewish. Dated: 26 Dhū l-Ḥijja 1056 AH, which is 2 February 1647 CE. There is a stamp at the head of the document. The beginning of the document is framed as a letter written to a higher authority. On verso there is an additional note concerning the same case from the following month. Needs further examination; the document is very clearly written, and most of it should be legible. (Information in part from JRL catalogue.)
