Jewish Names in Ottoman Court Records
(16th C Jerusalem)

by Mari ingen Briain meic Donnchada (Kathleen M. O'Brien)

Women's Names (Full Names)

In the list below, I have:

used "[sic]" to identify an anomoly in the transcription that I have confirmed appears in that form in Cohen's entry
grouped references to the same woman whenever I was able to identify that the different entries all refered to the same person
wherever possible, I have identified the religion of the person referred to in the entry. In noting their religion, I have used the notations:
- J = Jewish
- C = Christian
- Co = Convert to Islam
- M = Muslim

Notation for Special Characters:

Some characters that appear in the transliterations of names in Cohen do not appear in the normal English character set. There are basically two types of characters that fall into this category - characters that have straight lines (macrons) over them and characters that have dots under them.

Throughout this page, the notation I've used to represent these characters are:

{a-} indicates the letter a with a line (macron) over it
{i-} indicates the letter i with a line (macron) over it
{u-} indicates the letter u with a line (macron) over it

{D.} indicates the letter D with a dot under it
{H.} indicates the letter H with a dot under it
{h.} indicates the letter h with a dot under it
{t.} indicates the letter t with a dot under it

These characters may be visible in your browser if you set the character set used by your browser to UTF-8. Different browsers have different ways of setting this value, so check the Help function in your browser to find out if this feature is available and, if so, how to set it.

In the table below, the leftmost column uses characters with macrons for readers who are able to set their browser to the UTF-8 character set. The second column uses the alternate notation specified above in case the macron characters do not render properly in your browser.

Be warned: some browsers may not display the dots under the correct letter. Use the second (alternate notation) column to confirm what letter the dot should be under.

The majority of the sijill records are written in Arabic, though some volumes are written in Turkish.

The names listed below are in Arabic unless otherwise noted.
