כ׳ בניסן ה׳ס״א 20th 𝑜𝑓 Nisan, AM 5061: Mamluk authorities enforced restrictions attributed to ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab against יהודים YEHUDIM and Christians. Yellow turbans marked יהודים YEHUDIM for imposed inferiority; threats of death enforced compliance. Invoking an inherited pact gave renewed Jew-hatred a claim to early Islamic authority.28
