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.

    India Book II, 55. Letter from Maḥrūz b. Yaʿaqov, Mangalore, to Abū Zikrī Yehuda b. Yosef ha-Kohen, Bharuch, Gujarat, ca. 1145–48. Abū Zikrī was a representative of the merchants in Fustat, stranded in Bharuch after having been captured by pirates near Tānā (modern Thane) in northern India — the same port from which Marco Polo reports piracy a century and a half later. Maḥrūz b. Yaʿaqov, his brother-in-law, is a nākhudā, a shipowner, and is in Mangalore, so invites Abū Zikrī to join him in his own ship heading back to Aden. Maḥrūz's sister (back in Fustat) was married to Abū Zikrī (Abū Zikrī's sister meanwhile was married to Maḍmūn b. Yefet, representative of the merchants in Aden).
