Description

Marriage contract (ketubba). In the hand of Yefet b. David b. Shekhanya. Location: Fustat. Dated: Wednesday, 15 Sivan 1368 Seleucid, which is 1057 CE. Groom: Mawhūb b. Kathīr. Bride: Mubāraka bt. Shelomo. Witnessed by Ḥalfon b. Shabbat, Ḥasan b. [...] ha-Kohen, Yaʿaqov b. Yosef, Shelomo b. Yaḥya, Mevorakh b. David, Yefet b. David b. Shekh[anya], Seʿadya b. Yaʿaqov, and a poor signature (שלהן כרר) that may be misspelled. On verso there is liturgy in Hebrew, apparently relating to the peace offering. (Information from CUDL.) NB: Goitein's index card for Bodl. MS heb. a 2/5 erroneously refers to a 1492 CE ketubba for Ḥayyim b. Moshe Fakharūn and ʿAzīza bt. Shelomo b. Shūsha.
