Deed of sale for a certain large qāʿa, very complex involving guardianship procedures, inheritance, and the "orphans of Yiṣḥaq Mūrḥīm[?]," among many other names referenced. Location: Cairo, "Darb Castro" (Castro Street). Dated: Middle third of Kislev 5520 AM, which is 1759 CE. Currencies: Real. Written in elegant script on a large piece of paper that tapers at the top. The deed references at least one other earlier document related to the property. The lowest signature at the bottom of the deed is that of R. Nissim al-Gāzī and the stamped seal to the left of the signature confirms that this is, in fact, Nissim Shelomo al-Gāzī (1670-1761 CE). During the mid-eighteenth century R. al-Gāzī led the Rabbanite community in Cairo. MCD.
