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.

  22. 10922State documentMoss. Xa,3.10

    The author, one Pinḫās son of Yūsuf, appears to be the successor to Salmūn al-Iskandārānī as tax farmer of al-Khaḍra, the muqāṭaʿa at the centre of the preceding document [T-S AS 178.88 - PGPID 36909], and thus may be writing during the 1620s. […] We do not know whether Pinḫās likewise succeeded Salmūn as farmer of Alexandria’s customs. In any case, he is acquiring al-Khaḍra for a substantial increase (ziyāde) in the purchase price, a fact that indicates that the village had produced higher revenues than expected during Salmūn’s tenure. […] The Hebrew annotation at the top of the document has, on the face of it, nothing directly to do with the document’s main text: it alludes instead to a dispute involving several prominent rabbis/notables.

    Recto, top left corner, Hebrew addendum
