Discover Egypt’s incredible journey over 12 centuries in our #EgyptExhibition, now open.
In AD 639 Muslim armies under the command of Amr ibn al-As invaded Egypt and within a few years it fell under Muslim rule. Egypt now largely faced east, its resources directed to the caliphal capitals, first Damascus, then Baghdad until 969 when the Shiite Fatimid dynasty established their capital at al-Qahira (now Cairo).
In this letter, a Jewish trader named Zechariah ben Jacob ibn al-Shama recommends his highly trustworthy Muslim partners and their wares to his Jewish business contact Nahray ben Nissim. The letter is from a genizah – a storeroom prior to ritual burial for old or otherwise disused texts, anything that may include the name of God. For some reason the contents of the Cairo Genizah were never disposed of and they provide amazing insight into the daily lives of people living in Egypt and their wider medieval world.
Letter concerning business between Jews and Muslims. Cairo, Egypt, AD 1060. Taylor-Schechter Genizah Collection, Cambridge.
