which may be made for me and which I have made concerning this document, as a decree of the Sages, for this is not like promises and not like formularies, but rather
(bears) the weight and force of all documents of the court which the Sages decreed and which are generally employed effective immediately.

1487 Seleucid (18 September 1175–5 September 1176 CE)
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Maimonides' decree on menstrual purity. Dated 1487 Seleucid = 1175/76 CE. See Eve Krakowski, "Maimonides' Menstrual Reform in Egypt," JQR (2020), 245–89.
After we had proclaimed this matter in public for years, we saw that the plague held before him and only a few had turned to good—and that this neglect came mainly from the women, because they held onto heresy and immersion was hard forthem.
