Description

Letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Fragment (lower left piece of recto). There are many expressions of longing. Mentions: dinars; Maḥāsin; a note (ruqʿa) in the hand of Manṣūr; [Saʿ?]īd b. Ṭāwūs the supervisor (mushārif) of the house of [...]; the death of Abū Saʿīd; and how 'the town/country is in the worst state.' The handwriting seems familiar (sharply angled גs and very tall טs for instance).
