Description / Bio

Enslaved man and factotum of Khallūf b. Mūsā Ibn al-Ṣāʾigh. After a period of working with Yeshuʿa b. Ismāʿīl al-Makhmūrī, a notoriously difficult merchant, he chose instead to work with Khallūf's other associates. (Information from Goldberg, Trade and Institutions, 122, 138 and Craig Perry, Slavery and the Jews of Medieval Egypt, Appendix 1, no. 109)
