Deed of sale in Arabic script. A Rabbanite Jew sells to a Qaraite Jew a house in Cairo in the Ḥārat Zuwayla neighborhood, in a place called Raḥbat Surūr al-Luʾluʾi. The date is 769 AH. On verso, another deed of conveyance, date faded, in which the buyer from recto sells half of the property to another Qaraite. According to Richards, who described the document, another fasl on verso, very faded, is a deed of endowment. The document was in the possesion of the Qaraite community of Cairo in the Dār Simḥa synagogue in Ḥārat Zuwayla and was documented there by D. S. Richards in 1969, who later published the description of all the documents he found there in his 1972 article (as document no. V). Today the document is at the National Library of Israel.
