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 letter continues on verso with a "ḥasbī Allāh"; a report on the price of clove; the sender says he didn't go out to Aden this year, but rather sent a bit of lac with Yūsuf b. Abū l-Munā. (This could also mean that he *only* went out to Aden this year with a bit of lac with Yūsuf but that makes less sense.)

    He is apparently a client of Maḥmūd Ketḫüdā, almost certainly an officer in Egypt’s Janissary regiment. […] Thus, this petition probably dates from the middle years of the sixteenth century, and the disposition of the estate almost surely follows on an execution.... Ibn Baghdād’s estate seems to consist largely of clothing or, perhaps more accurately, textiles (Egyptian colloquial aswāb, standard Arabic athwāb, literally ‘robes’). […] Sixteenth-century chronicles note Bedouin populations hiding their textiles or depositing them with peasants, along with livestock and money, when under attack."

That letter has also in common with ours the fact that Maimonides' reply is written on the back of the sheet." - S. […] There are two blocks of text in Maimonides's hand on verso, at ninety degrees to each other. One is almost entirely illegible, does not appear to relate to the question on recto, and (very speculatively) could be a responsum for a legal question that the writer sent separately (though Stern would differ, as he read "dirham of lemon" where I read "shall be bound by a vow").
