Description

Fragment of a ketubba. Dated: 24 Sivan 1313 Seleucid = 7 June 1002 CE. Groom: ʿAmram b. Maymūn. Bride: Zahra bt. Elishamaʿ. This fragment was reused in 1054/55 CE as a model for the ketubba for the groom Yoshiyya b. Neḥemya Rosh Pirqa (b. Avraham b. Sahlān) and the bride Karīma bt. Yiṣḥaq. Goitein comments ("this is surprising, because Yoshiyya was a payṭan"). (Information from Goitein’s index card)
