Will (Fustāt, Egypt)

This Judeo-Arabic will was written by the scribe Hillel ben Eli. Al-Wuḥsha orders the disposal of her considerable assets (the astonishing sum of some 689 dinars in total here) to her family and to various charities. She also provides for her son, who was born out of wedlock, and details what should occur if he predeceases her. Judging from the expense, her funeral promised to be a lavish affair, a final show of her wealth.
