Description

Two fragments of a deed in the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe ha-Levi. Dated: Last decade of Iyyar 1431 Seleucid, which is 1120 CE. In which Abū l-Faḍāʾil leases half of a house for a monthly rent of 7 qīrāṭs of gold from ʿAyn al-Qurrah sitt al-Milāḥ, the daughter of the deceased Abū l-Faḍl Ibn al-Qaṭāʾif. Sitt al-Milāḥ is his sister-in-law, as he is married to Sitt al-Gharb, the other daughter of Abū l-Faḍl Ibn al-Qaṭāʾif, as is described in UPenn E 16510 (PGPID 8962) which was written in the same days - last ten days of Iyyar 1431 Sel. An agent, Abū l-Ḥasan ʿEli ha-Kohen, is acting in the name of sitt al-Milāḥ. A ‘property chain’ was involved, in that the contract specifies that Abū l-Faḍāʾil will not be able to move into his accommodation until the new house of sitt al-Milāḥ is ready (it is currently being built). Signed by Shelomo b. Moshe ha-Levi (‘the Seventh’). (Information from CUDL.) Apparently the same house as in T-S 16.5 (PGPID 7356).
