Abstract

Abstract The Cairo Genizah is a fundamental source for the study of Jewish History and culture in Medieval and pre-modern times. Moreover, the importance of the Cairo Genizah to Arabic studies should not be underestimated. This article investigates a previously unpublished fragment that features a selection of Egyptian Arabic proverbs written in Hebrew script, i.e. Judaeo-Arabic, which have been kept for centuries in the Cairo Genizah and that, to date, have not been found in other sources of Egyptian proverbs.
