Bifolio from a collection of legal documents from Yemen. The first document on f. 1r is in a different, cruder, hand to the rest, and is dated 2186 Seleucid, which is 1874/75 CE. The remainder of the documents are more carefully written and concern a woman, Miriam bt. Sālim and her betrothal (or lack thereof) to Yaḥyā b. Yaḥyā. One of the pages is headed "this is the text of the ruling (psaq) that came from Ṣanʿāʾ." These entries are dated Adar 2176 Seleucid, which is 1865 CE. Many elaborate signatures of rabbis from Yemen appear, including an extremely famous one, Yaḥyā/Yiḥyā Qāfiḥ (ca. 1850–1931), who may have only been about 15 years old at the time. Another signatory is Sulaymān b. Yūsuf al-Qārih (אלקארה), perhaps the brother of Qāfiḥ's teacher Yaḥyā b. Yūsuf al-Qārih. Merits further examination. (Information in part from CUDL.) ASE
