Description

Marriage contract (ketubba). Not completed (perhaps because of an error in lines 4 and 5). Location: Fustat. Dated: Elul 1552 Seleucid, which is 1241 CE. Groom: Yeshuʿa ha-Talmid b. Shemuel ha-Levi. Bride: Sitt al-Rashīda bt. Yeshuʿa ha-Talmid, an orphan and a virgin. The document also states that he 'betrothed' her, indicating that there was no formal betrothal which preceded this document. Marriage payments: 40 + 10 = 50. The script resembles that of ʿImmanuel b. Yeḥiel but is not identical. On verso there are jottings in Judaeo-Arabic and Arabic script.
