ENA 3974.6

Legal document. In Arabic script. Dated: First decade of Jumādā II 440 AH, which is November 1048 CE. Involves Azhar b. Khalaf al-Isrāʾīlī, the agent of al-sayyida al-sharīfa al-malika al-jalīla(!?). Well preserved, and merits examination. The al-Sayyida al-Sahrīfa mentioned here could be al-Sharīfa bt. Ṣāḥib al-Sabīl, who is believed to have provided meals to the caliph al-Mustanṣir Billah during the Shidda 'Uzma (see al-Maqrīzī: Ighāthat al-Umma bi Kashf al-Ghumma, pg. 99). On verso there is a lovely prayer in Judaeo-Arabic, with copious praises for God and expressions of repentance (and the psychic and bodily distress that ensues from reflecting on one's sins). AA. ASE. YU.
