Document date
27 Shevat 5[5]57 Anno Mundi (23 February 1797 CE)
Primary languages
Hebrew, Ladino
After an obsequious introduction in Hebrew, expressing gratitude to Shabbetay for bestowing the honor of this new partnership between them, the writer switches to Ladino (albeit with Hebrew mixed in throughout) and gets to the purpose of the letter. The writer has an existing business venture in mastic (אלמאסטיגה) that would violate the terms of the new partnership—namely that he and his agents are not to trade at all in מתא מצרים (= Fustat?) with the exception of business arising from his preexisting partnership with Ḥājjī Dāwud in Alexandria—and so he seeks dispensation to continue with the mastic venture, or perhaps he wants Shabbetay to buy him out of his share.

After finishing the letter, Ibrahim wrote the requested prescriptions in the margins (one version of the Preventer and two versions of the drug for swelling) and noted that all the ingredients for the third prescription are available in Bilbays.

Letter from the future Gaon Daniel b. ʿAzarya, in al-Mahdiyya, to the leader of the Babylonian community Sahlān b. […] The letter congratulates Sahlān on his marriage, which we know to have taken place on 9 September 1037 CE, from his ketubba (T-S 20.6). The letter also discusses difficulties experienced by the Babylonian/Iraqi congregation of Fustat that were resolved with the intervention of Abū Naṣr Ḥesed al-Tustarī (ll. 13 and 16).

Among other matters, he writes, "I had a maternal uncle (khāl) named ʿAlī ibn al-Lādhiqī. He had a feud with Solomon ben Judah [the gaon of the Yeshiva in Palestine] and could not be in the same place with him. […] They appointed him permanent ḥazzan in al-Raqqa and as muqaddam of the city. His name [i.e., patronymic] was Birabbi Joshua [=the son of R. […] He could not remain with him [with the gaon] in Jerusalem and returned to his permanent position in al-Raqqa" (Frenkel). He mentions in passing near the end the illness of the son of Yeḥezqel ha-Kohen he-Meʿulle.

The document entry lists an uncommon locational arrangement: the wedding will take place in eight months in Alexandria on Shavuʿot, however, the married couple plan to reside in Cairo afterwards. Perhaps the bride's family planned to travel from Ottoman Crete for the wedding and Alexandria presented a more accessible venue rather than Cairo. (3) Investment partnership between Yaʿaqov Yo'av and Ḥana the wife of David ha-Levi Ṭorina/Ṭrinqī (?).

Primary language
Arabic
Addressed to the vizier ("ḥaḍrat al-wizāra") concerning either the appointment of an amir in Yemen, or written by an amir in Yemen who has previously received several favors from the state and has an established patronage with the vizier. […] The latter is a hierarchy in the Fatimid daʿwa, and a title which the Fatimid caliphs would use to address their vassals in Yemen, especially the Sulayhid empress Arwa. (See ʿImād al-Dīn, ʿŪyūn al-Akhbār vol. VII, and Sijillāt Mustanṣiriyya). 4) Towards the end of the document, the writer mentions an affair that cannot be revealed in written correspondence, perhaps hinting at a matter of confidence. […] The join between {ENA 3700.1 + BL OR 5557K.10} + {T-S NS 162.34 + T-S NS 70.10} is indirect but seems almost certain. Joins: Alan Elbaum. (Information in part from Khan's edition of T-S NS 162.34.)

Primary language
Hebrew
Sahlan, a leader of Egyptian Jewry, Solomon's 'peer,' with whom he had probably studied many years before, had just died, and his own son was on his way to Aleppo in northern Syria, a voyage fraught with danger. . . . […] I ask God only to keep me alive through this year so that people should not say: "Both died within one year." […] My eyes are dim, and, when I write, it is as if I was learning it, sometimes the lines are straight and sometimes crooked, and so is my style, because my mind is disturbed since the day my beloved [son] traveled to Aleppo to fetch some goods he had left there. I pray to God to bring him back in safety "before I depart and be no more" [Psalms 39:14]'" (Goitein, Med Soc, V, p. 120, translating lines 19–25).

There follows verbiage about what will happen if other people who are not known and not fitting should infringe on the rights of those listed above. A person named Maṣliaḥ is also mentioned. It is possible that this is actually the upper part of T-S 12.239, since the documents have identical layout, and T-S 12.239 also starts with verbiage about how no one else has the right to infringe on the appointees.
