The ledger was apparently written by two people: the first section by Rabbi Shalom Mizarchi whose stamp appears on leaf 7b, and the second section by Rabbi Yitzchak Mizarchi whose stamp appears on leaf 1a. Leaf 34a bears an owner stamp. This rare ledger is a significant resource for the study of the history of the city's large Jewish community.
