Description

Fragment of a letter in the hand of Elḥanan b. Shemarya in which he states that Ḥasan b. Saʿdān b. Aṣbagh met the late Caliph "this week." Someone said that Ibn ʿImrān brought a fatwā from al-Shām saying that people must only go to Yaḥyā b. Shemarya (=Elḥanan himself) for judgment. The chronology is perplexing, unless the caliph died a few days before the letter was written—maybe this is why Goitein's index card says "Dreams." (Information from CUDL and Goitein's index card) VMR. EMS. ASE.
