Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Sughmār, the chief judge in al-Mahdiyya, to Nahray b. Nissim, in Fustat. Dating: Ca. 3 August 1057 CE (Gil) or 1061 CE (Goitein). […] Goitein cites this letter as an excellent example of the convention of expressing preoccupation for a sick correspondent and conveying congratulations upon his recovery: "After having read the bad tidings in Nahray's missives, [Labrāṭ] had become disquieted and frightened, and passed his sleepless nights in asking God to accept himself as Nahray's ransom and to heal him. He had also passed the news on to "the Light of the World" (the spiritual leader of the Tunisian Jews), who was also very worried about it; his prayer for Nahray, Labrāṭ is confident, would be accepted. […] Nissim himself (r14–18). All had despaired, "but God looked upon us and did not afflict us and blind our eyes."

He complains about neglect. He mentions al-Shaykh al-Rashīd, whom he forgives for neglecting him because he is usually so generous, and Abū Manṣūr, whom he does not forgive because he cannot imagine his excuse. He concludes by asking the addressee to conciliate his daughter (the writer's wife, ṣāḥibat al-bayt), because, as a result of his pain and his illness and the meager support he receives (or "care," as in the wife being remiss in household duties, which is Zinger's suggestion), his "character became constrained" and he became irritated (ḍāqat akhlāqī wa-ḍajirtu), and they had a fight.

Moshe who served as a Fatimid official in Palestine and corresponded with the Tustarīs from Jerusalem; see CUL Or.1080 J21 (PGPID 2266) and related documents.

Same cluster: T-S Ar.38.91 (PGPID 8219) - same sender and addressee, same reuser; published by Aodeh T-S NS 327.11 (PGPID 25791) - same addressee (and presumably the same sender); same reuser; published by Aodeh T-S NS 327.10 (PGPID 25783) - based on the same Hebrew reuse; the fact that it is adjacent to the preceding shelfmark provides further evidence T-S K11.14 + T-S K11.58 (PGPID 41969) - same reuser; the mention of Ibrāhīm b.

The sender compares his or her grief now to their grief at the time of a previous bereavement (laqad fajaʿanī khabaruh ka-fajʿatī bi-aʿazz al-nās...). The sender then rebukes the addressee for neglecting and forgetting him or her, and complains about frailty of body and vision. […] In a postscript the sender apologizes that 'my letters to you are empty, because I don't have enough (to buy) anything"—maybe an allusion to an expectation that a gift would be sent along with a letter.

He accompanied her to the two synagogues and informed the two congregations about an error in a recent court session (majlis al-ḥukm). It seems that a ban of excommunication placed on this woman is being retracted, and that she is owed 4 sanja dinars from public funds. […] Her brother-in-law and David al-Najjār then accosted the writer in the market and 'cried out' (istaghātha) against him, saying that they won't pay a penny until they see the woman's documents. The writer asks the addressee to send the documents with her—and possibly the remaining 5 qirats (verso)—so that everyone will be spared "their evil" (of the brother-in-law and David al-Najjār; this reading is not completely clear).

"And now, for our sins, there is no way at all to buy anything, and above all because there is nothing in this land by which to earn a single aspro, so that I can bear it no longer… And God, blessed be He, knows that I would have wanted to leave with this caravan, together with Algranati's wife and the other honorable women who are setting out now; and because I had no word that you had sent for me, I have not dared to stir… [For the sake of] God, blessed be He, that you see to sending…" Merits further examination.

10033Legal documentYevr.-Arab. I 1700.18
Document date
14 Sivan 1467 Seleucid (4 June 1156 CE)
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Engagement agreement between a Qaraite man (Abū Saʿīd) and a Rabbanite woman (Sitt al-Naṣr bt. Netan'el ha-Kohen). Goitein suggests that it is an agreement between a husband and wife that was composed after a quarrel (Med. […] But Ashur judges the document to be an engagement agreement because the early marriage payment (muqaddam) is mentioned and there is a condition that the muqaddam will be considered 'a gift', alongside many other conditions common in agreements before the marriage. These conditions include: not to bring into the house anything forbidden by the Rabbanites (ṭā'ifat al-rabbānīn), that the early marriage payment is a gift, that he will not marry a second wife nor take a concubine if she disapproves, on pain of having to pay the delayed marriage payment and giving her a divorce, etc.
