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.

    Primary language

    Letter written in Fustat on 6 Ṭevet (no year) from a son to his mother (l. 17, yā wālidatī). Very emotional. Mentions Alexandria and flax, but also that the son had been in Fustat expecting his mothers' letters but not receiving them, and was so worried that he could neither eat nor drink. Then their aṣḥāb arrived and delivered his mother's letters, he read them and was a bit relieved. The mother mentioned flax, which made the writer happy, but also the difficult situation she was in, including pain and fasting.

    Two fragments of a legal document in the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe ha-Levi. […] The reconstruction is not clear but it is possible that Mufaḍḍal b. Mevorakh ha-Levi appeared before the court showing a legal deed issued in Damascus regarding a debt of 30 dinars owed by Abū ʿImrān.

    Letter from ʿAwāḍ b. Ḥananʾel, from Alexandria, to Nahray b. […] Unlike wheat, the price of fava beans seems, at least according to the report of this letter, to have risen considerably from 4½ irdabb per dinar to 1 per dinar, a dramatic fluctuation that should be carefully checked for possible alternative meanings and interpretations. […] He also mentions the matter of a leaky cistern, probably one attached to a house or building in Alexandria belonging to Nahray.

    Primary language

    Most of a long, very distressed letter from Menaḥem, writing in Fusṭāṭ/Cairo, to a business associate, whose family lives in Fustāṭ/Cairo and who has traveled. The details of the case are difficult to follow and merit deeper examination. Menaḥem's enemies have gotten the upper hand, and they are gloating to the utmost, and he has lost a great deal of money. In what remains of the letter, he first mentions the visit of Lu'lu' ("may the enemies of Israel perish"), who may be identical with al-Raqqī, to a prison (where Menaḥem had been held?).

[…] 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)." […] 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.)
