Recto: letter to Maimonides with his handwritten reply on verso (see separate record). The writer states that he has acquired a rudimentary knowledge of philosophy but needs an instructor to make further progress. Having read part of Maimonides’ Guide - and finding that he has not entirely understood it - the writer asks if he can either meet with Maimonides or with someone else that Maimonides recommends. He also asks for dietary recommendations that will help him in his pursuit of knowledge. (Information from CUDL.)
