Description

Business letter. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Likely 11th century. The handwriting looks like that of Mūsā b. Abū l-Ḥayy. Mentions al-khalīj; Ibn ʿAntar; sūsī; גוש (=al-Jīsh?); the Muslim traders; various commodities (including אלקפאן?) and information about shipments; how Zakkār still hasn't greeted the sender; Rabbenu [...]. There is a lot more, but the text is faded and fragmentary. (Information in part from CUDL)
