In the earlier discussion of the Saªdis’ use of “bi-lis1n al-biny1n,” the creation of the mellah was shown to be one facet in a larger preoccupation with sultanic authority in Jewish memory.

The room was closed and over the woman’s grave they built a wall, which stands there to this day. 21 While the date is entirely plausible, a few notes of caution regarding it are nonetheless warranted.
