He inquires briefly about commercial dealings before insisting that there is no need for his mother to trouble herself with coming to visit. If she wishes to give him the fabric, they can simply send it with Safi, and if she wishes to tell him in person about the illness of his sister, then she should simply write the news in a letter: “There is no shame in that; people are accustomed to writing the secrets of people in letters and sending them.”

Primary language

Judaeo-Arabic

Accounts in Judaeo-Arabic on a large bifolio with a few lines in Arabic. Dating is 18th- or 19th-century based on the Ottoman kurush reference in Arabic and perhaps post-1707 if the word "גנזרילי" on the verso was intended as a reference to the gold cinzirli (the spelling is somewhat unclear for this to be certain). Some of the accountentries mention names, such as: Abdaraḥman al-Maghribī and Raḥamīm Gershon.

There are four discrete entries on this page and 6 entries on the next page. […] The epithet "al-Ismāʿīlī" appears several times, and "the neighborhood of the Ismāʿīlīs" (ḥārat al-ismāʿīliyya) at least once. All the entries have an elongated mīm to the left. The final page appears to give the sum (al-jumla) of the entries on the preceding pages. The document is reminiscent of some of the accounts of the (Jewish) Qodesh in this period, which similarly tally rental income; perhaps this kind of document was the model the Jewish communal clerks were following.
