Description		    Marriage contract of Joseph to Habiba signed by R. Misoud Hai Simon (twice) and R. Mosseri.

The Mosseris were a prominent family in Egypt, said to have come there from Italy around 1750. Nissim Mosseri (1848–1897), with his son and his brothers, founded the banking house of J. N. Mosseri et Fils Cie. (1876). Joseph (1869–1934), the eldest son of Nissim, was honored with the title of bey for his financial services to the Egyptian government. Joseph's three brothers, Eli, Jacques, and Maurice, founded a second bank in 1904, Banque Mosseri et Cie. Eli (1879–1940) headed many companies, one of which built the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
