How to Search

General Search

Use keywords or phrases in any language to return matching or similar results across all fields. Arabic script searches will return both Arabic and Judaeo-Arabic transcription content.

Regular Expression Search

Use Hebrew or Arabic script to find precise matches in the transcriptions. See How to Search page for advanced use cases.

Cheat sheet:

  • If you're looking for a word with one missing letter, use a period. Two missing letters, use two periods or {2}. Increase the number in the curly brackets to increase the number of characters, or insert a range with a comma in between, ex. {0,5}.
  • If you don't know how many characters are missing, use .*.
  • If you know which characters you want, use square brackets to find multiple spellings, ex. [יו] for yud or vav.

    She describes some of the background of her current situation: her mother-in-law (the addressee's sister) had long nursed enmity against her. At one point Umm Sitt al-Nās had to leave her own family's location and move in with the husband and mother-in-law. […] Soon my mother-in-law began to work against me, isolating me from everyone and putting enmity against me into the heart of her son. The least she did was that she said to me: 'Go away and become like your notorious mother.'"

    The latter two names on the verso stand out because right after their names, we find the phrase in Hebrew: "לסוף לך לך / for the end of Lekh Lekha". Like many other lists following the parshas in the liturgical calendar in JRL Series C, and their many joins across other collections, this temporal designation probably indicates contributions made to the community in that specific week of the liturgical calendar.
