תיאור

Recto: Accounts of a moneylender(?). In Arabic script. Dated: Thursday, 19 Dhū l-Ḥijja 1253 AH which is 1838 CE. In the right column, ʿĀʾisha bt. Muḥammad of Ṭūkh al-Maliq(?) (the town between Qalyūb and Banhā?) who lives in Būlāq (a district in Cairo) borrows a sum of 500(?) (piasters?) against a golden nose-ring and a silver anklet as collateral/pawn. In the left column, there is an entry mentioning Ibrāhīm Shaʿban and ʿAlī al-Jazzār and a pair of golden bracelets as collateral. Below, an entry involving Ṣāliḥ Ḥanāba(?). Verso: Accounts in Judaeo-Arabic and eastern Arabic numerals. The date is written at the top of the page: Monday [...], [12]54 AH, which is 1839 CE. There is some ambiguity in the dates on both recto and verso; needs further examination. (Information mainly from JRL catalogue.)
