Description

Power of attorney. Mainly in Hebrew. Dated: Monday, 6 Adar 1539 Seleucid, which is 1228 CE, under the jurisdiction of Avraham Maimonides. The physician Elʿazar b. Tiqva ha-Levi, in Ashmūm Ṭannaḥ (אשמום טנאח), instructs Eliyyahu the Judge, in Fusṭāṭ, to betroth on his behalf the widow Yāmūn bt. ʿEli b. Yosef (יאמון האלמנה אלמרכשיה), from Marrakesh in Morocco. Witnesses: Netanel b. Shemarya; Menaḥem b. Yefet; Mevorakh b. Shelomo ha-Kohen known as al-Dilāthī (this transliteration is clarified by comparison with the Arabic script). There is an addendum in Arabic script, which is a message from Hibatallāh b. [...] to Rabbenu Pinḥas (b. Meshullam?). This is essentially a validation (qiyyum) in which he identifies the witnesses to the above document and confirms that their signatures are genuine. One of them is from the Ibn al-Munīr family of physicians, a relation of al-Muhadhdhab Ibn al-Munīr who is also mentioned in T-S 10J12.10. In the second part of this addendum, a physician titled al-Muhadhdhab (unclear if he is identical with the one just mentioned) asks Pinḥas to convey the document to the hands of Eliyyahu the Judge.
