Description

Letter from anonymous writer, unknown location, to Moshe b. Yehuda, in Alexandria. In Hebrew. Dating: Last quarter of the 15th century, based on the associated fragments.

The writer reports that he heard from Yiṣḥaq that Moshe treated him munificently. The writer conveys his gratitude and asks for a letter with information about how everything went with Yiṣḥaq and his sister, whether they are healthy, and whether they left any letter for the writer.
