תיאור

Ketubba for Yiṣḥaq b. Moshe ha-Levi known as ʿŪraybī and Sammūḥ bt. Yehuda Ḥaddād. Currency: medin. Dated: 7 October 1805 CE (14 Tishrei 5566 AM), Cairo. The ketubba contains an extensive and well-preserved dowry list spanning 10 lines, mostly in Judaeo-Arabic and occasional Ladino. Some of the items include: Algerian tarbūsh hats (טראביש גזאיירלי), an Istanbulī towel (מנשפא איסטנבולי), silk gown (קומצאן חריר), embroidered velvet overcoat (גובב קטיפא בפונתס קצב), cotton mattress (טוראחא קוטן), among many other items. The total valuation of the ketubba is 40,000 medin. The opening blessing in the heading includes Proverbs 18:22: "מצא אשה מצא טוב ויפק רצון מה׳". Based on the brushstrokes, the border was likely rendered with watercolor paint. For another example of this technique on a nineteenth-century ketubba from Cairo, see: AIU VII.D.24 (PGPID 30523).
