List in Judeo-Arabic and Hebrew of donations collected before various Shabbatot that may be dated in connection with nearby shelfmarks of the same document type (i.e. JRL Series C 156). The weekly parshas are listed such as "פינחס" and the formula for each weekly entry repeats, as "עלם מקבוץ יום שישי סדר פינחס " which translates as "notice of the [contributions] on Friday received [for] seder Pinchas". There are many examples of this communal register type from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, such as AIU VII.F.60 and JRL SERIES B 2003. MCD.
