Una escritura de compromiso de otorgar la ḥalîṣâ

Abstract

Among the Hebrew documents that have been found at the Tudela Municipal Archives ten years ago, we can find in an appendix to a Kětûbbâ, the document that is published here, according to which a possible future yabam takes the engagement, at his brother's wedding, to confer the ḥalîṣâ to the yěbamâ whenever the case arrives. This practice was not usual in Spain, but it was in France, and, although the document was dated at Tudela, the yabam, Mosheh of Narbonne, and his family were of French origin.
