Description

Part of a ketubba for an unnamed bride and groom from Qalyūb. Date and names of witnesses are not preserved. The last 3 lines are in Judaeo-Arabic. Goitein (1978:127, 390, 410, 454) dates it to the 13th century, perhaps on the basis of the menstrual purity clause. (Information from CUDL and Goitein's index card.)
