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.

Goitein speculates that since all religions & classes of people (including a physician, al-ḥakīm) are represented, this may be the account of a butcher.

  3. 2103LetterT-S Ar.39.52

    in Arabic script addressed to "al-Shaykh al-Rayyis al-Muwaffaq." There is a version of a raʾy clause (والراي ما يراه المولى). The sender says he is waiting for the addressee in the house and emphasizes on investigating or registering something "wa al-maṣlaḥa ithbāt hādhā al-ʾamr". Seems like the problem is the price of something and if that decreases, its demand will rise "idhā infasakha saʿruhu yaqʿa al-ṭamʿ". There is a tarjama in the right corner "al-mamlūk................. al-Nuʿmān". Needs further examination.

    Recto: A private petition/letter in Arabic script from ʿAbdallāh b. Ṣāʿid to the son of al-Shaykh al-Thiqa, in Minyat Ziftā Jawād. Most of the addressee's honorifics (al-ḥaḍra al-sāmiya al-ajalliyya al-ʿāliyaal-shaykhiyya al-sadīda al-saʿdiyya) are fairly routine; al-saʿdiyya is less common and may indicate that his name is Abū Saʿd or something like that. […] Verso: Underneath the address, there are jottings consisting of the drawing of an elephant, a scale of justice, and a quotation from an Arabic poem of al-Zawzanī (d. 1039) transcribed into Hebrew letters, followed by a quotation from the Mishnah.

    Draft of a letter written either by Avraham Maimonides or his son David I Maimonides (their hands are almost identical). The fact that the opening phrase (גרץ תסטירהא etc.) is identical to that of T-S 16.343 (PGPID 7489) may tilt the probability in favor of David being the writer. The letter is probably addressed to a physician known as al-Rashīd ("al-ḥaḍra... al-ḥakīmiyya al-rashīdiyya..."). It concerns al-Shaykh al-Thiqa Hiba, perhaps Hibat[allāh b.

    Legal document. Location: Alexandria. Dated: Ṭevet 4957 AM, which is November/December 1196 CE.
