Geniza Lab

Letter in which Eli b. 'Amram invites a scholar to give a lecture in the synagogue on the following Saturday and requests a prompt reply. Dated to the third quarter of the 11th century. (Information from Mediterranean Society, II, pp. 218, 568, and Goitein's index cards.) There appear to be two different folios sharing the same shelfmark. Also under this shelfmark: (1) A draft of a legal document concerning a woman called Mubāraka who had sold her maidservant for 20 and a half dinars and had given the money to her brother as capital for a business trip, but was then sued by her husband as only 10 of the 20 and a half dinars were her dowry, so she empowered her husband to sue her brother for the remaining 10 and a half dinars and profits; (2) a letter to a Ḥaver; and (3) a letter in Arabic script. Information from CUDL. Needs further examination.
