Description

Legal deed, not completed. In the hand of Natan b. Shemuel. Location: Fustat. Dated: 1455 Seleucid, which is 1143/44 CE, under the authority of Yehoshua (probably b. Dosa). This is the only example of a reshut formula for this figure, on whom see M. A. Friedman's article on Zuta, pp. 477–78, and Mann, Jews, 1:217–19 and 2: 270ff. This deed probably is a deed of gift from a father to his daughter.
