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.

    Account book in Judaeo-Arabic. Dated in multiple locations to the early 18th century, for example שנת הנה ישעך בא (=463=1703). […] The scribe notes in at least one of the headings (4v): "עשיתי חשבון עם כה׳׳ר רחמים" before providing the relevant dates. The nature of the accounts becomes clearer on 4r in the heading "מן ר׳׳ח תמוז מכר כה׳׳ר רחמים לר׳ אברהם ראובן"– which indicates a sale between two individuals. The headings point to the likelihood that his is a private account ledger rather than communal pinkas– FGP lists both categories as possibilities.
