10601LetterT-S 6J7.6
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
This section opens with an expression of emotional distress (fa-yabqā qalbī marjūf). The wife of Surūr al-Qalyūbī has been harmed (? inḍarrat) because of the delay of the silk. The addressee should send it with the frying pan (al-ṭājin). Muʿammar spoke with the sender about something (a beverage?) […] The addressee should send the knife (? al-sikkīna) and the tefillin, as the sender has injured his left arm "because of the throwing of the jug" (??).

Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Letter from Sulaymān b. Samhūn b. al-Sahl, in Tilimsān, to Abū Sahl Menashshe b. David Ibn Labrāṭ, in Fustat. […] The sender has not heard from anyone in Egypt for "several years" because "the caravans have been cut off" (li-inqitāʿ al-qawāfil). He requests that the addressee send back news with the same pilgrims (ḥujjāj) who are bearing this letter for him. […] Otherwise "the news of the West" is good, all is safe and the roads are secure. He concludes by asking for news of the Yeshivot, and who is the current Head of the Yeshiva, as he wishes to write to him.

10603Legal documentT-S 20.48
The agreement is a tawqīm ("estimate") of the trousseaux for the bride, Sitt al-Suʿada ("Mistress over the Happy Ones"). The groom approved of the evaluation of the tawqīm of the dowry and took on the responsibility of keeping the items safe. […] This was because the official Rabbinate marriage contract, which also listed these details, would be in formulaic Aramaic.

Cohen and Somekh suggest that the account corroborates Ibn Khallikān's anecdote about Ibn Killis's majlis and may even describe the same incident. They also argue that the author's decision to confront the vizier with verses from the Torah implies that he regarded Ibn Killis as still, in some sense, answerable to his origins. The blessing "may God sustain his high station" after the vizier's name indicates that Ibn Killis was alive and in office when the treatise was composed, suggesting a dating for the text of 979–91 CE. […] Cohen and Sasson Somekh, “Interreligious Majalis in Early Fatimid Egypt,” in Hava Lazarus-Yafeh, et al., eds., The Majlis: Interreligious Encounters in Medieval Islam (Wiesbaden: Otto Harrassowitz Verlag, 1999), 128–36.

or perhaps bubonic plague given that there was a major outbreak in Alexandria/Egypt in 1834-1836). All the gentiles were trying to flee in boats to Jedda. […] The writer then had a second bout of fever ("my whole body burnt, and my tongue cleaved to my palate, and I went to the doctor, who treated/cured me a second time"). By this point all his money had run out. Shortly thereafter he developed an eye disease. […] Relatively early on he made his way to Fustat/Cairo, where he had little success raising money or gaining allies. The capitation tax collector (baʿal ha-kharāj) apprehended him for failing to pay for 'the third year' (he had only paid for the years '50 and '51) and he spent three days in prison, where he fell ill again for the fourth time.

Primary language
Ottoman Turkish
Dating: circa 1736 CE or later (per Hathaway) based on the mention of the Ottoman gold coin zeri maḥbūb which was first minted in Cairo in 1736 CE(?) (although the earliest coins from Cairo in Uslu's numismatic catalogue date to 1143 AH/ 1730 CE). It should also be noted, that 1703 CE (1115 AH) marked the first year these coins were minted in Istanbul, therefore yielding a plausible chronological threshold over three decades earlier (Kaan Uslu et. al., Osmanlı İmparatorluğu Madeni Paraları, 69, 114-115). […] The language and script of the letters and their overall appearance suggest that both were composed by the same author at around the same time, and possibly to the same recipient, namely al-Ḥājj Muḥammad.... T-S NS 306.84 clearly indicates a link between the firewood deliveries and Cairo’s Janissary regiment.
