Description

Letter addressed to the Nagid Mevorakh b. Seʿadya. In Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic. Consists almost entirely of flattery and blessings. On verso there are words of condolence for Mevorakh's late brother (Cohen suggests that this is Abū Zikrī Yehuda b. Seʿadya and that the phrase "fakhr ahl al-ʿilla" means "pride of the medical profession"; see Cohen, Jewish Self-Government, p. 134). Join: Alan Elbaum.
