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.

  14. 414State documentT-S Ar.22.140 + T-S K25.221

    Marina Rustow later found the join to the upper part of the document, T-S Ar.22.140, and if join is correct, it's not a petition but a report. […] The hand on the two fragments differ slightly, possibly because the text on T-S K25.221 is the end of the document and formulaic, so less carefully written. T-S Ar.22140 was reused for a Judaeo-Arabic commentary on Isaiah 54:1 and 1 Samuel 1:11, while T-S K25.221 was reused for Hebrew poetry headed with the name of the meter, כפיף, and for Arabic accounts.
