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.

    Legal rebuttal regarding the lawsuit between Yosef Lebdi and Wuhsha over the possession of 22 bales of lac. So far, six bifolia and two leaves have been identified, totaling 28 pages of what must have been 40 pages in 2 quires. […] The judge believed Lebdi's agreement with his two partners, Farah and Abu Nasr, includes the 22 loads of lac in question, as long as the other party does not provide proof that it does not include them. […] Farah's heirs already took their small share of the 22 bales of lac. It is worth noticing that only Wuhsha is mentioned as 'the heir' to Abu Nasr, even though we know she had another brother and two sisters.

    Menashshe (per Weiss). Dated: Tuesday night, 22 Kislev 1435 Seleucid, which is 1123 CE. Contract in form of acknowledgement of a debt concerning the cancellation of a "sale" of a house which served as a mortgage. A certain David (l. 7) and his son (ll. 5, 21–22) bought a house from the husband (l. 10) of a certain woman named Jayyida (ll. 23, 27). […] The son and father invested unequal shares of 12 and 38 dinars respectively (ll. 21–22). When David returned, he was informed that the house he bought was "donated to the pious foundations" (ḥubisa) (l. 7), or more likely was confiscated by the government.
