AIU VII.D.71
Legal documents in Judaeo-Arabic dated "195" since creation, probably meaning 4800+195 = 4995 = 1234/5 CE. Both have to do with a controversy between judges in Alexandria. The judge Yiṣḥaq b. Ḥalfon seems to admit that he has been making errors in his judgments and will henceforth defer to Yūsuf Ibn Rabbenu [...]. Recto preserves the intriguing sentence, "He further said that the most insignificant judge in the lands of the Arabs is better than [...]." The signatures are difficult to make out; one witness is named Yehudah. The text on verso is at 90 degrees relative to recto and refers to the same case: "tashwīsh al-aḥkām alladhī tajrī fī al-Thaghr."

Long letter to the judge Avraham b. Natan of Ramla, Palestine, from the late 11th century; probably sent from Tyre. The writer wishes to go to Egypt to David b. Daniel. (Information from Goitein's index cards) VMR

Legal document. In Hebrew. Location: Fustat. Appointment of a judge, listing all of his prerogatives. The handwriting is very familiar; late 12th or early 13th century? Needs examination. Below there are jottings, mainly Coptic numerals it seems. This shelfmark also includes three folios of Talmud.
T-S H5.115
State document in Arabic script. Three lines and the last word of a fourth are preserved. Bestowing titles on the judge Abū Isḥaq (al-qāḍī al-rashīd al-muwaffaq al-sadīd). Dating: 11th–13th century. In between the lines there is a list in Hebrew script—calendrical? On verso there are Hebrew poems. One composition has the heading משה, another the Judaeo-Arabic heading הגר אלדלאל.
