Description

Fragment of a ketubba. In the hand of Mevorakh b. Natan (part of his signature survives). Some of the items of the dowry and their values are listed. Goitein's index card emphasizes that as this an inventory (as opposed to a dowry list?), the prices are real. The sum of thirty dinars according to the custom of the land is mentioned. Witnesses: Berakho[t b. Yefet] MKTM, Yishaq b. [...], Menashshe b. [...], Mevorakh b. Natan. On verso there are jottings of accounts in Arabic script and Greek/Coptic numerals. (Information in part from Goitein’s index card)
