Thus, though microscopic analyses constitute the foundational elements of this study, the net result adds up to a macro perspective on a region and its socio-political and ethno-religious tensions. CHAPTER ONE SOURCES AND METHOD Goitein refers to his Yemeni “collections” in the plural (see Preface) and this unindexed material is in fact stored in two places in the Ben-Zvi Institute library. Hundreds of original “Yemeni documents” deposited by Goitein at the Ben-Zvi Institute library prior to his departure from Israel in 1957 are now located in a series of cardboard folders.
My original research proposal for this study listed sixty-seven Dwayd-related documents; but as my familiarity with the Dwayd habitat grew, I was able in later reviews of the Goitein archive to link to the cache additional documents that did not carry the Dwayd name. One group of documents particularly hard to attribute were such ownership deeds as were deposited with a creditor by way of collateral security (marhùnàt) pending restitution of a debt. This is because the information contained in these documents normally has nothing at all to do with the creditor; rather, these are documents— such as the baßìra, farz and ˙ukm—that grant the document depositor some kind of right to a property.
Only a small proportion of all disputes were brought to the sharì'a court, 20 Wenner 1991: 21. Wenner 1991: 21. 22 For Goitein’s description of the sources he used to compile the index see Goitein 1983b: 199 n. 3. 23 Ze’evi 1998: 39–45. 26 Entries in the register of a specific court, typically located in an administrative center, tend to contain information immediately relevant only to the specific day in the specific court. Documentation describing earlier or subsequent encounters between litigants which may have taken place elsewhere, such as in another court in town, in courts located in other towns, in a less formal venue of arbitration, or in an encounter in the litigants’ own denominational court, does not normally appear.
