ENA 4011.51

Marriage agreement. Location: Fustat. Dated: Kislev 1459 Seleucid, which is 1147 CE. The document is in need of conservation, and several names and words are hidden underneath folds of paper. The woman is probably named Sitt al-Fakhr bt. Abū l-Faraj Mikhaʾel ha-Meshorer. The man is probably named Abū l-Ṭāhir Shemuel b. Natan. (A previous description listed his profession as al-kaḥḥāl, but it is not clear where this is written.) Sitt al-Fakhr receives a piece of real estate in Fustat in מחרם עמאר. NB: When Goitein cites ENA 4011.51 (e.g., in Med Soc V, 135, 542), he means ENA 4011.50.
