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.

    Recto involves Bū ʿImrān b. Bū l-Faraj b. Mardūkh al-Ṣayrafī, then refers to an administrator of a compound (mutawallī al-rabʿ), then might refer to all the houses pertaining to 'the waqf' (=the qodesh?) in Qaṣr al-Rūm/Qaṣr al-Shamʿ. Verso seems to be a different document, but probably related.

    The deed focused on the Qaraite synagogues was preserved in the Qaraite synagogue Dār Simḥa, and was studies and photocopied there by D.S. Richards, who also published an edition and translation of it (PGPID 40663). […] While Richards' text describes “the synagogues which belong to the Qaraites in al-Qāhira and Miṣr”, and first turns to “the synagogue in the Ḥārat Zuwayla neighborhood in al-Qāhira” (line 67), the present text describes “the synagogues which belong to the Rabbanites in al-Qāhira and Miṣr”, and first turns the Rabbanite synagogue in the Ḥārat Zuwayla neighborhood, “in the alley known as al-Qābila”, a description confirmed from other sources. […] Then follows a detailed description of “the two Rabbanite synagogues found in Miṣr” - first a detailed description of the synagogue “al-shāmiyīn”, and later of “kanīsat al-ʿirāqiyīn”.

    The supervisor's name is Suleymān b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbd al-Ghaffār, so he probably was the son of the supervisor mentioned in PGPID 40644 (from 1563 CE). […] The purchase of this property in 1554 CE byʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿAbd al-Ghaffār is described in PGPID 41543. […] The two persons mentioned in this document are also mentioned in a document from the Jerusalem Muslim court Sijjil from 1584 CE, published by Amnon Cohen (no. 373 in his volume on the 16th century), where they are also in dispute over dwelling rights and compensations for investments in an endowed property, in a location close by, which also seems to be one of the endowed properties described in PGPID 40644.

    Letter from Shelomo b. Nissim ha-Levi al-Barqī, in Alexandria, to Mūsā b. Abī l-Ḥayy, in Fustat. […] Hopefully I will find someone to treat me, for here there is no medicine and no physician and nothing to strengthen my spirit (nafsī—Gil translates it as body)." Mūsā has also been suffering from a prolonged illness. Shelomo conveys his sympathies and explains that he only refrained from writing sooner so as not to increase Mūsā's preoccupations (shughl al-sirr). The letter also mentions the purchase of books. (Information from Gil, Kingdom, Vol. 4, #646.)
