תיאור

Immense communal list of alphabetized names. Dating: probably from the second half of the nineteenth century based on the paleography and usage of pencil. The heading for the entire list may be concealed under the paper fold on the verso. Many of the early entries are for widows (אלמנה), of which ~50 are named, making this one of the largest lists in the geniza of women predeceased by their spouses. The number of orphans listed, however, is surprisingly low at just 5 entries—which do mention individual names of children. The dating estimate might be narrowed through future research on the individuals mentioned. MCD.
