תיאור

Fatimid petition to al-Āmir bi-Aḥkām Allāh from a Jewish merchant, Mūsā b. Ṣadaqa, who was detained unlawfully after his return from India and Yemen with goods on which duties were imposed. He had already registered documents in the court of the qāḍī al-quḍāh Jalāl al-Mulk Tāj al-Aḥkam (Abū l-Ḥajjāj Yūsuf b. Ayyūb al-Maghribī) saying he shouldn't be taxed; he asks for his property and freedom to be restored. Dating: 516–21/1123–27 (based on the years in office of the judge in question). On verso there is Hebrew liturgical text. Information from Khan; see also linked Goitein notes.
