Description

Legal document(s). In the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe (fl. 1100–1138 CE). Involves a woman probably related to the Yaʿaq[ov] mentioned in l. 1 and/or the Sason ha-Levi mentioned in l. 2. She testifies concerning the will that the father of her son made for that son and bemoans her state as a "cut-off" woman. There is also someone named Moshe b. Yeshuʿa involved. The continuation of the document is damaged and difficult to make sense of, but mentions an orphan son, debts, expenses, and quotes different people's speech. This legal record is followed by a blank space and what may be a new legal record underneath.
