Description

Narrow bifolio. One page: Legal record in Judaeo-Arabic written and signed by Natan b. Shelomo ha-Kohen. Dated: Adar 1451 Seleucid, which is 1140 CE. Involving a debt of 30 dinars owed by Abū l-Munā b. Yehuda to Abū l-Ḥasan b. Abū l-Namir(?). Bishr b. Hārūn al-Ruqūqī stood security for him. It seems that the debtor ran away and hid. The brother of Abū l-Munā, Abū ʿAlī b. Yehuda is also mentioned. The remaining three pages: Accounts in Arabic script and Greek/Coptic numerals. (Information in part from Goitein's index card.)
