Description / Bio

Christian enslaved woman mentioned in a legal query to Avraham Maimonides about a married man from Alexandria who absconded with her to live somewhere in the Nile Delta. According to Craig Perry, it is unclear if this is a hypothetical reference or if she was a specific individual. (Information from PGP and Craig Perry, Slavery and the Jews of Medieval Egypt, Appendix 1, no. 152)
