A, who wanted to redeem the mortgage but only had a partial amount available, wanted to borrow the shortfall from his business friend B in England in pounds at 3% interest. A was willing to issue a promissory note in British pounds to B to eliminate the currency risk for B. B had religious concerns. Meir ben Abraham Hacohen Alfasi considered these concerns justified not only because of the interest but also because of the obligation to repay in British pounds. [The terms "scheepe kennis" (probably ship's acquaintance) and "exccutio" (probably execution) are interesting. The first two terms are explained in Hebrew.] Volume 4 Local 53 Written Date 1761-01-10 Published Date (est.) 1761-04-05 Author Short Name HacohenM Author Hacohen Alfasi, Meir ben Abraham Rector Salem, Salomo Rector Short Name Salem URL https://frances.mie.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/PEH406.pdf Link to Dicta <a href="https://peh.dicta.org.il/book/prietshaim/prietshaim-406">https://peh.dicta.org.il/book/prietshaim/prietshaim-406</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
