Legal document from Fustat/Cairo, dated January 1821 (5581). It seems to be a partnership agreement between various traders active in the early 19th century, including Yaʿaqov ʿAdda, Yosef Shtiwi, Shimʿon Frances, Moshe Yagi (?), Avraham Ḥafīs (?), Moshe Ḥanan, and Moshe Mizraḥī. Signed by many of these same people along with Saʿd Pinto.
Legal document from Fustat/Cairo, dated either February or March of 1810 (Adar I or II of 5570), in which Moshe Shtiwi acknowledges an investment of 15,000 מכ from Merkadah bt. Yaʿaqov. There are two additional notes on verso from 1811 and 1812 CE respectively.
Accounts. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dated: 4 Jumāda al-Awwal '54. Probably 1154 AH (=1741 CE) or 1254 AH (=1838 CE). Perhaps belonging to a jeweler or to a pawnbroker. Nearly every row begins with 'in the name of X' (e.g. Eliyyahu Shtiwi, Sh. de Curiel, Ṣāliḥ Aḥmad, Ḥayyim Shaʿyā, Mordukh Bialobos), then it lists an item (silver candelabra, silver watch, pearl necklace, ring/seal), then abbreviations. Values of the items and sums are in the righthand column.
Late certificate in Hebrew, probably issued in Fusṭāṭ, attesting that R. Yiṣḥaq known as Hoja (?) Shtiwi, who has since moved to Alexandria, has been examined and is an expert in kosher slaughter and the checking of the lung.
