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.

    Dating: 7 Shevat, possibly January 26, 1048 (Gil). The writer confirms receipt of two letters from Nahray and gives directions on business matters, including that when a certain Abu ‘Amr arrives, Nahray should take 16 dinars from him. The writer also requests that Nahray purchase two books with high-quality paper for him, remarking that he has already written to Ḥalfon to buy a cloak (kisā'). He sends good wishes to Abū Isḥāq Barhūn and Abū ʿAlī Ḥassūn. […] The letter closes with a request to purchase two dasts of high-quality paper (waraq jayyid), greetings to Abū Isḥāq Barhūn and Abū ʿAlī Ḥassūn — with the note that if Nahray is writing to Būṣīr, he should convey greetings to both men there — and the information that Mardūkh has already written to Ḥalfon to buy Nahray a robe (kisāʾ).

    Western Arabic numerals are in use with one entry on the recto dated 26 Sivan [5]632 or July 2 1872CE. This dated entry also mentions S[eñor] Yiṣḥaq Menashshe and lists a variety of coinage types such as "old one ducats / דוקאדו ישן אונו" and "new ducats / דוקאדוס מואיבוס". Given the dating of the fragment, the latter coinage designation is likely not a reference to Venetian gold ducats, however, the "old one ducats" may refer to pre-1797 currency from Venice. Another coinage label takes form in "Mahmudi / מאחמודי" which is reference to money minted under the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II.
