Court of Bab Ali, register 96, case 2263, p. 348
SENDER: Shaykh Muhammad
PLACE OF DEPARTURE: Cairo
GENERAL INFORMATION: dated 1023/1614.
This case contains a complaint by the head of the paper market, Shaykh Muhammad, son of Shaykh Ibrahim, that two Jewish individuals, Abram Yahuda and Rahmin, son of Yusuf, had bought 1,700 packs of Venetian paper from the Venetian consul. He asked these two Jewish traders to hand him the paper so that he could distribute it among the paper market sellers, as was the custom. His request was rejected. The qadi ruled that if the seller, the Venetian consul, had undertaken the sale of his own will it was not possible to take the paper from the buyers for distribution to the paper merchants.
