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.

    Letter from Yehuda Ibn Sighmar, at Alexandria, to Nahray b. Nissim, at Fustat, from the year 1097. The letter contains three parts: First, blessings over Nahray's recovery from illness.

    Memo about the actions taken by the rabbinical courts in Alexandria, in an unspecified place, in Fusṭāṭ, in Minyat Ziftā, and again in Fusṭāṭ. In Alexandria, Karīm b. ʿEli had received ten dinars from Abū l-Munā Iṣḥāq b. […] On examination, the court in Fusṭāṭ found that the mōdaʿ preceded the settlement in Alexandria and invalidated it, and instructed Avraham b. Shabbetay of Minyat Ziftā (where the case originated) accordingly. […] Since this is only a memo, only two people signed it: Yiṣḥaq b. Shemuel ha-Sefaradi and the scribe, Ḥalfon b.

If Abu Zikri is the writer, could he be writing to Shelomo's wife intead ("the mother," not "my mother")? It seems that Shelomo is currently with him (lines 19-21), so he couldn't have directed this request to Shelomo.
