Description

Business note in Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: 11th or 12th century. Mentions the arrival of the merchants and a request that the addressee write something in his handwriting in 'the maḥḍar' (court notebook?). The sender cites his illness ("were it not for my illness and the fact that I cannot move") to excuse himself for not coming in person. On verso there is a note in Arabic script about a sum of money owed. (Information in part from CUDL)
