Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A document that details the prayers that were performed on Qamar bat Rahmah to try to rid her of the spirit of her dead husband, Nissim ben Bonia. According to the Hebrew text, the rabbis asked the ghost to “leave this woman, Qamar bat Rahmah, [and forgo] all authority and control that it has over her; and Nissim ben Bonia shall have no more authority and control whatsoever over Qamar bat Rahmah in any form or manner at all.”
The document was found in the abandoned recesses of the Cairo Geniza, a storeroom attached to a Cairo synagogue, and is believed to date to the 18th or 19th century. It is now kept in custody at the University of Manchester. The document is unique in that it describes a real event, where you see how they come together and pray in order to exorcise the ghost from a widow. |
