Description

Legal record (#51). Disposition of inheritance. Dated: Monday, 13 Tammuz 1467 Seleucid. Avraham b. Yiṣḥaq al-Skandarānī appeared before the court bearing a power of attorney from a woman named Munā bt. Shemarya from Alexandria regarding collecting the qumāsh that her late mother had bequeathed her and that had passed into the possession of her late father. The court inquired about the matter, and it seems that the qumāsh was given to her (i.e., to her agent) before the court by Bū Saʿd al-ʿAṭṭār b. Abū l-ʿAlā Ibn al-Zayyātī. The next record clarifies that Bū Saʿd was the trustee of the court with whom the father deposited the items of the qumāsh in the name of his daughter. There is an Arabic-script ḥamdala underneath. The next record (Yevr.-Arab. I 1700.21r–21v) deals with the same case.
