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.

  59. 250LetterT-S NS 306.84

    Primary language
    Ottoman Turkish

    Dating: circa 1736 CE or later (per Hathaway) based on the mention of the Ottoman gold coin zeri maḥbūb which was first minted in Cairo in 1736 CE(?) (although the earliest coins from Cairo in Uslu's numismatic catalogue date to 1143 AH/ 1730 CE). It should also be noted, that 1703 CE (1115 AH) marked the first year these coins were minted in Istanbul, therefore yielding a plausible chronological threshold over three decades earlier (Kaan Uslu et. al., Osmanlı İmparatorluğu Madeni Paraları, 69, 114-115).
