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.

    Letter from the Master of the Shipmasts to a Nubian eparch in Ibrīm. The letter reports on the activities of Merki, a man who was in the service of the Nubian eparch and the Master of the Shipmasts. Khan writes that Merki seems to be "working with the Muslim writer of the letter to supply the eparch with military equipment but he has also taken upon himself the responsibility of operating as an agent of the Nubian authorities in the suppression of a rebellion" (Khan, 255).

    He has children far removed from religion and others. The servant fears lest what is sealed upon people (i.e. death) overtake him, or me.

Many of the Arabic writings appear to be formulaic phrases from a letter to a dignitary (titled in one place Imam and Amir), probably scribal practice.
