Formal letter of resignation from the judge Nissim al-ʿAnqarī. In Hebrew. Location: Fustat/Cairo. Dated: Friday, 16 Iyyar 5301 AM, which is 1541 CE. He says that the reasons for his resignation are too well known to describe... but at least he gives us the information that he had been captured, and a tax collector (ḥāshir) and another gentile were also involved, and the heads of the community lost 8 Venetian ducats on his account. Therefore, he renounces the title of judge. Nevertheless, if David Zimra wishes to consult him on various matters, he is happy to help. (Information from A. David's edition via FGP.)
