last third of Shevaṭ 1471 Seleucid (31 January 1160–9 February 1160 CE)
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Shemuel ha-Sefaradi) invested 65 dinars with the merchant (al-tājir) Abū l-Ḥasan Toviyya b. Abū Saʿd Shemuel ha-Levi the merchant, who is also known as Ibn Ṭībān, as a commenda, with profits to be split evenly between the two. […] Avraham ha-Sar Nānū collects an additional 10 dinars, which he had also advanced Ḥiyya. The document does not specify any initial partnership stipulations in terms of losses, but the court seems to have ruled that Abū l-Ḥasan was liable for one-third of the losses of 26 dinars (eight and two-thirds dinars). Having already repaid 40 dinars, he still owes seven and two-thirds dinars.

6506LetterT-S G1.74
Inferred date
1100–1138 CE
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Our Yehuda is mentioned en passant in a revealing passage: "This year there arrived in Egypt (diyār miṣr) from a town in Europe (diyār al-[r]ūm) called Narbonne—the town famous for its scholars (ʿulamāʾ) and righteous men (fuḍalāʾ)—a man whose superior in knowledge, piety, and reverence has not arrived from those parts (min tilka al-diyār) since the great rav (al-rav al-kabīr), our master Yehuda Rosh ha-Seder, may his memory be blessed." […] The letter implies, therefore, that he had arrived from a Christian country, possibly Italy (usually termed "the land of al-rūm" in the Geniza), and had, therefore, obtained at least part of his learning within a non- Islamic environment. Quite likely, he had also spent time in an Arabic-speaking Jewish community (Qayrawān?)
