A code of practice for Jewish merchants by one of the last great Geonim of Mesopotamia - the work became a classic of commercial literature. Included as an appendix, is a brief formulary for contracts - likely the most ancient in existence. Also included is “Sepher Mashkon” (Contract of Loan) which shows the methods of Jewish money-lenders.
