Description

Recto, left side: Legal document. Probably a draft. In Judaeo-Arabic. There are three different text blocks, all belonging to the same document, oriented at 90 degrees to each other. Dated: Sunday night, 20 Ṭevet 1578 Seleucid, which is 1266/67 CE. The scribe gives his name, but it is difficult to read (Sh[...] b. Elʿazar?). The document seems to be setting the conditions for the marriage of Abū Saʿd b. al-Rayyis and Thiqa bt. Abū l-Riḍā b. al-Tifʾeret. On verso there is Hebrew poetry or piyyuṭ.
