651LetterT-S AS 155.144
Primary languages
Arabic, Judaeo-Arabic
Ṭayyib; Abū Zikrī Yaḥyā(?); and Abū Yaʿqūb b. al-BL[...]. Mentions various quantities of commodities including chebulic myrobalan, clove, and Indian laurel; the sender has asked Abū Zikrī to help the addressee in selling these. He has also sent a qārūra of musk, and six(?) pairs of shoes ([sit]ta azwāj madāsāt). The Arabic marginalia looks like it's on a separate sheet that was stuck here. Verso is also a letter in Judaeo-Arabic, in a different hand, but too faded/damaged to read.

Netan'el ha-Kohen. Bride: Sitt al-Kafā'a bt. Bū l-Faḍā'il ʿOvadya b. Shemuel. "Another marriage agreement composed in Fustat thirty years later reads very differently. The agreement does not survive in full, but its contents are summarized above a partial inventory of the bride’s dowry (taqwīm) copied into a court notebook. Here the pledges all extend the other way, strengthening the bride’s legal position rather than eroding it. […] Netan’el ha-Kohen, promises his future wife, Sitt al-Kafā’a bt. Abū l-Faḍā’il, that he will trust her financially; that he will neither marry a second wife without her permission nor keep a female slave against her wishes; that if she dies before bearing children, he will claim only half her dowry as inheritance and return the rest to her birth relatives; that she may continue to live in Fustat rather than Cairo; and that he will not object if she sells off any of her dowry items and buys other property with the proceeds" (Krakowski, Coming of Age, p. 241).

Letter from the cantor Ḥalfon b. David (aka Khalaf al-Lādhiqī), in Jerusalem, to the elders (sādatī wa-mawālayya jamāʿat al-shuyūkh al-miṣriyyīn), in Fusṭāṭ. In Judaeo-Arabic, in a beautiful scribal hand. Very faded. Dating: Likely 11th century. This may be a letter of appeal for charity, since Ḥalfon/Khalaf leads by identifying himself as an elderly man with dependents (rajul kabīr tāʿin fī l-sinn wa-ʿalā ʿāʾila). He refers to praying, the Torah, and 'al-qiyām fī l-jibāya wa-l-kitābāt.' On verso there is the address of the letter and an explanation of calendar reckoning in a different, crude hand.

The sender mentions the arrival of a suftaja (money order) against Abū l-Faraj Mūsā; mentions Abū l-Faḍl Kātib al-Jaysh (in Tyre?); and around here the thread becomes difficult to follow. Mentions danānīr nizāriyya (attributed to Nizār b. al-Mustanṣir Bi-Allāh) which provides numismatic evidence to date this letter between 1094-1095 CE.
