Description

Probably a letter asking for assistance. The writer arrived from a land far away (גית מן בלאד אן בעיד) and he is lonely (אשב בדד). Mentions meeting yesterday with al-Shaykh al-Muhadhdhab, who reported that he had met with al-Zakiyy, who refused to speak; this has been reported to Sayyidnā; mentions Abū Naṣr; al-Shaykh al-Raṣuy. The hand is familiar from the circle of Maimonides and his son. AA/ASE
