Description

Letter probably from [Yehuda Ibn al-ʿAmmānī] al-Melammed, probably in Alexandria, to Abū l-Majd (Meʾir b Yakhin), probably in Fustat. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dated: 23 Adar (4800 +) 175 = 4975 AM = 24 February 1215 CE. On recto, mentions that the addressee's letter for his brother Hilāl arrived. On verso, mentions that God has delivered Abū l-Surūr from the terrible straits he was in (לטף אללה ברוך שמו וכאן . . . שדיד אלדי כאן פיה), possibly recovery from an illness, and that he took out the Torah scroll (to offer a prayer of gratitude before the congregation?). (Information in part from CUDL.)
