Regular expressions
The Princeton Geniza Project database allows for search expressions containing certain 'regular expressions'. Regular expressions are codes that can be inserted in search queries to match patterns of text.
^string | Matches the text at the beginning of the string |
string$ | Matches the text at the end of the string |
. | Matches any single character (including special characters) |
a* | Matches the sequence of zero or more of the specified character |
a+ | Matches the sequence of one or more of the specified character |
a? | Matches zero or one occurrence of the specified character |
abc|def | Matches either one of the specified strings |
[abc] | Matches any one of the specified characters |
Boolean Search
The Princeton Geniza Project database uses a boolean full-text search. This type of search allows users to combine keywords with operators to refine searches. Possible operators and examples of their use:
מולאנא מולאי | Search for rows that contain either of two words by simply typing them consecutively. In this case, the search will find documents that contain either מולאי or מולאנא. |
כתאבי +מולאי+ | Use a + sign before word to search for rows that contain all of them (in this case the words כתאבי and מולאי) |
כתאבי AND מולאי כתאבי OR מולאי | The keyword AND indicates that both search terms must be present in the results. OR matches either search term. |
כתאב –כתאבה | Use a - sign to exclude a term from your results (in this case, the search will include כתאב but exclude כתאבה) |
*כתאב ?כתאב |
Use an asterisk or a question mark as a wildcard. An asterix matches any number of characters. A question mark matches any single character |
ENA 2964.9
List of accounts that records alphanumerical monetary figures in connection with one "Shemuel al-Ashqar / שמואל אלאשקר" on the 19th of the month Shaʿbān, however, the year is not included in the recto's heading (l.1r). Just below the heading there are three columns that are each labeled with terms for coinage types, listed here in order of clarity: "ʿatīq", "jadīd", and "būndūqī" (l.4r). While the first two labels may indicate a variety of possible monetary types– for example "jadīd" may be a copper or gold coin of Ottoman Egypt also attested in T-S AS 204.214 – "būndūqī" is most likely a reference to Venetian gold ducats or their imitations that were minted under the Mamluk and Ottoman sultanates. Further down on the recto and floating apart from any clear line, the marker "abū tāqaʿ / אבותאקע" also appears as a reference likely to Spanish silver coinage. In the final legible line of the recto "Sefarad / ספרד" is mentioned. The fragment's verso was used for pen trials practicing biblical names on two occasions listed in exact succession "Avraham Yiṣḥaq Yaʿacov" and there are also first-person pen trials involving the name "David." On line three of the verso a synagogue is also mentioned but it is unclear if the term is used generally or in connection with a specific location. MCD.
