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.

The sender had traveled with 400 dinars' worth of lac and other merchandise belonging either to this Baqāʾ or to his father and he made great profit on the journey, however he did not touch any of the profit, explaining that the Ibn Shuwayʿ merchandise is exempt (tanṣānu) "from the ʿushr of the jāliya" (the 10% customs tax intermittently imposed on dhimmī merchants?)

    Goitein often quoted this line to argue for a preference for endogamy and cousin-marriage, but Krakowski persuasively argues (Coming of Age, 218–21) that this situation is too specific to be generalizable: Ibn Yijū seems to want, instead, to use cousin marriage "not to affirm and reify existing social loyalties, but to create an essentially new connection between socially distant relatives" (221). But Ibn Yijū's explicit motive is different: he says he wants his future son-in-law to be "learned in Torah" (r12), and he's heard from both their other brother, Mevasser, and the Sicilian merchants in Aden and Fustat said that Surūr fits the bill
