Description

Legal document. In the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe (fl. 1100–1138 CE). Probably from a prenuptial agreement, stipulating that the wife can force the husband to sell any enslaved woman she dislikes, and that the man will not take a second wife ([wa-lā] yatazawwaj ʿalayhā] or concubine (wa-lā yatasarrā).
